-DR. MARY ANN HUMPHREY-KEEVER
sexuality already, says she hopes that young
gay soldiers will use their heads when dis-
closing their identities.
“I think a lot of people in the military will
use their best discretion and choose their
friends [wisely],’’ she says. “They’ll be out
but they won’t be crazy. I think that was a
fear of the Congress that was behind all of
this and some in the military saying,‘It’s go
ing to be a pink military now.’ No, it’s not!
People that go into the military go in for a
reason. I t’s not to meet other men, it’s not to
meet other women. It’s for the opportunities
that the military offers.”
Perhaps most importantly, Humphrey-
Keever explains that for those Midwestern
gays and lesbians seeking a sense of purpose
in unforgiving, rural towns—outside of the
more liberal East and West coasts— the
military is now a much more viable option
for a career than it was under DADT. She
reiterates, however, that simply because the
policy has been repealed doesn’t mean that
deep-seated prejudices will he erased.
“[Potential enlistees] may feel that they
can find more people in the military that
they can feel comfortable with because
they’re coming from all over the country,”
Humphrey-Keever says. “That’s opened up
an opportunity for that gay per
son who’s isolated somewhere. It
doesn’t mean it won’t be ho
mophobic. If you’re a homopho
bic asshole in society, you’re gonna
be the same way in there. You just
have to follow regulations.”
Logic— as well as top officials
in the U.S. military— tells us that
the repeal of D A D T will have an
inconsequential effect on mili
tary readiness and overall morale
in the ranks. As Humphrey-
Keever puts it, this crucial step forward is
“chipping away at the inconsistencies in
our hum ankind.”
“The more we stand there and don’t stand
down, that’s the important part about what
we’re doing,” she says. “W e’ve been [in the
military] all along. Now we can just be real,
It’s a win-win for everyone.” It]
Dr. Humphrey-Keever, who as o f press time re-
ported that 600 copies o f the 21-year-old My
Country, My Right to Serve have sold in the
last 6 months, is starting a new book, focusing on
marriage equality. For more information on her
