What happened to President Obama’s promise to end ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’?

Last week U.S. Lt. Dan Choi—a West Point grad and Arabic language specialist—was dismissed from the National Guard “for homosexual behavior”. His crime? Coming out.

Grrr! One more example of why America needs sexual literacy.

And one more reason to get involved.

Speaking of Seniors . . .
Check out ’Sexy Grandma’ is NOT an Oxymoron!’ on our blog. Other must-reads from Dialogues: Obama just says no to abstinence only; the panic over sexting; and the science of trannymals.

Last But Not Least

Best,
All of us at NSRC

P.S. In the coming weeks we’ll be changing our newsletter format. Same good information, but better looking.
