This week, Helen and I use Tasha’s storyline on The L Word as an excuse to share the story of an actual LGBT officer raising children with her partner, and to explore the impact of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy on the children of LGBT servicemembers. (Read the full story in my original article.) Helen also talks about her own experience as a military officer, back in the days of the Cold War, and even models her garrison cap.

If the Veoh video above isn’t working (sometimes their server can be flaky), you can try it at Daily Motion, though the picture quality isn’t as good there.
