Gay military story & photos at True Tales e-zine
Death, danger, and desire are a potent combination, as generations of soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen have shown. This year, True Tales: An Erotic E-zine of Masculinity and Power looks at the long-running tradition of homoeroticism in the military.
EDITORIAL: Gay Warriors: Aspects of a Lost Tradition. In their eagerness to promote equality in the military, have proponents of gay military men lost sight of past lessons?
"Give me a whole squadron of such sinners - so that they be young - and I'll not complain."
FICTION: Death and the Veteran. By Ruthless. As Christmas approaches, a veteran looks back on a lost past and awaits the inevitable arrival of a skeleton.
We woke early, stayed in bed, bodies locked rocking and fused by the moistness of sweat. . . . Death come dance with me. Let your hand link my hand with Noel's hand.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Views. Text and photos by Kobi Israel. A former Isreali soldier offers photographs that are shot in military settings where soldiers dare not "cross the dangerous line" between homosocial and homoerotic.
You change overnight from a child to a man - a man that has the right (and the duty sometimes) to love and hate, live and die, make love and kill . . .
