dont_ask_dont_tellPeter Moskos wrote in an article, “"Law or no law, standards of professional conduct demand that military personnel avoid asking about, talking about or flaunting sexual orientation."

You Know You’re in San Francisco—and Not in Paris—When…
Written by Jessica Mordo   
san_fran…it’s a typically gray, foggy day and no one’s complaining about it.

…you walk past a local branch of your bank at 7pm and not only is it open, but there is a sizable line of customers inside.

…fleece and sneakers are acceptable fashion choices, even if you’re not “doing sport.”

…it’s OK to be gay, even outside of one sheltered neighborhood (I’m looking at you, Marais). What’s more, you can find a shop that sells KY and gay porn beside a quaint purveyor of antiques.
