I imagine if my life was destroyed cause I like putting it in a particular spot with my partners. I’ve done what this man did a lot of times with no penalty (other than a partner who was mad that I was too quick the first time I got to). Funny, there’s a huge portion of the porn industry that caters to my taste. wtf. This man has been wronged. Give him a pension. He’s fucking earned that and more for his suffering.

  same here and i would be in his same position if don't ask don't tell hadn't become a very publicized thing; instead i'm only scarred 6x over by the shit they've done to gay people that the lemmyverse likes to ignore for some reason
- He got free room and board for years and could just sit on his investments /s
We're still arresting people for this?
- Fortunately, no. He did his time in the late 80s.
i wonder how he feels about having to request a pardon from a president that supported fucking him over more than his sex partner did; i avoided the military and took on permanent-for-life student loan debt (also thanks to biden) because of don't ask don't tell and i think i would rather die than ask him for forgiveness.
- Ah yes I forgot Joe Biden was president in 1990.
  
  he voted for don't ask don't tell and publicly advocated against gays in any sort of federal and government service since the 70's
  UPDATE: i was thinking defense of marriage act; don't ask don't tell was a policy that biden supported but never had the option of voting for.
