An active duty soldier @areyousurprised has been slowly contemplating coming out through a series of faceless Youtube videos. His videos of army life went viral, which has brought attention to his coming out videos.
Tonight, with the end of DADT, @areyousurprised came out to his father in Alabama via phone from his base in Berlin. For the first time he shows his face in the video. Everyone should watch this. Its a wonderful testament to the power of coming out and to the strength of those that have been serving in silence under DADT.
What a wonderful way to start the day!
I have tears in my eyes. I dont know whether its happy or sad crying, but it’s making me cry regardless.
