Congratulations to Lt. Gary Ross and his partner of 11 years, Dan Swezy, on their impending nuptials. They will be getting married tonight, just after midnight, on the day the military officially changes its policies about gay and lesbian service members.
The military still has a ways to go - gay and lesbian partners of military members will not have full benefits the way heterosexual partners do - but this is a huge leap forward, and long overdue.
