A Force Divided
When an Air Force Chief Master Sergeant has something he wants to say, you had better watch out because he is going to say it!
This fact is doubly true when you are dealing with David Lee Gainer. As an SLDN board member, Gainer has been an active and vocal proponent of lifting the ban on lesbian and gay service members. So when he set his sights on publishing an op-ed calling for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the Air Force Times, Gainer spoke and people listened.
The result is this terrific article that draws attention to the true costs of bigotry and reminds Airmen stationed around the world that, "to wear the chevrons of a leader, you must motivate, inspire and lead dedicated men and women of every kind."
Thank you David, for speaking so honestly, and so passionately, to such an important audience. Because men like you are willing to lead by example, readers of the Air Force Times now have the chance to witness the qualities of integrity and service in action.
