Frontlines: The Latest from OutServe-SLDN

Cholene, Speaking Out on the Blend

Surf over to Pam's House Blend, where blog mistress Pam Spaulding has an exclusive Q&A with SLDN board member Cholene Espinoza about the December 16 edition of 60 Minutes, featuring Cholene and SLDN client Darren Manzella. Cholene talks with Pam about the positive reaction she's received about the story, about change that's happening in communities and on Capitol Hill, and about those who support the ban and their out-dated rationales. " . . . I think the most persuasive argument I can make is the fact that today, we have hundreds, perhaps even thousands of gay service members serving openly, (such as Darren), and yet, we are in a war, when cohesion is essential, and there is no negative impact to unit cohesion," Cholene says. "In short, DADT is federally mandated discrimination being propped up with simple bigotry." Blend readers can also leave their own questions for Cholene on Pam's site.
