Late last night I read psychodrew's diary, DADT Not Dead: The Persecution of Derek Morado.

Like many of the commenters, I was angry and frustrated and feeling a little hopeless. Too angry and frustrated and hopeless to even comment in the diary.

Then this morning, I watched a video from the Courage Campaign, in which Jeff and Lori Wilfahrt talk about their son Andrew, who died last month in Afghanistan, and now I'm too angry and frustrated and hopeless not to write a diary.

(This is my very first diary. I think the new DK4 format takes the pressure off a bit. I used to feel that to write a diary, I needed to put together a well-researched treatise. But now that even MeteorBlades is promising to start posting poetry and pictures of his cat, I figure I can take a stab at a post that is more "diary" and less "Diary.")
