Saturday night, I went out to the Diversionary Theatre with my friends Diversionary Theatre board member Vicki Estrada, her partner and fiancée Lynda, and IGFE Winslow Street Fund Chair Stephanie Battaglino to see the musical Yank -- a musical about gays in the World War II military services. I had so much fun watching the show with my friends.  At the same time, I cringed listening to a boot camp instructor character shout at recruits as I remembered some of my own boot camp experiences at the Naval Recruit Training Command, San Diego.  And then, at the same time I got a kick out of the theatre's lobby display of LGBT military veterans -- I got to see my photograph prominently displayed with the LGB vets.
