During the 43 years Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr served in the military, he didn't so much lie about his sexual orientation as he let others draw conclusions from intentionally vague statements.

Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr headlined a "Patriots Circle Reception" hosted by Atlanta couple Randy New and Russell Tippins on March 14. The event recognized donors who contribute more than $1,000 annually to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which advocates on behalf of gay, lesbian and transgender soldiers and veterans.
