Army Announces New Award for LGBTQ Integration

[Havoc13]

I always wondered what that ribbon was for.

 

[CDG]

Sweet! Another ribbon to add to the stack! Well on my way to completing that elusive first row.

When did they add the "Q"? Yesterday was the first time I ever heard "LBGTQ". I had to ask my daughter what it meant...

 

[walra107]

What the hell is a "Q"? Does it mean "Questionable"? like a Pat? Like hey I'm not so sure if you are a chick or a dude?(Thai Strippers are included as well?)

 

[pardus]

I'm going to regret this... what is Q?

 

[comrade-z]

The "Q" is queer, or questioning, depending on who you ask. Basically a category for those who don't self-identify as L, G, B, or T, but still identify as being from outside the realm of being "straight" or a man/woman, regardless of their reproductive organs at any given point in time.

Good lord... Where is this all going to end up?

I would say with sheep shagging, but that's been going on for years on this site already!

Can't wait to see you get vetted for that, brother.

@Havoc13 - I can't find the updated AR. Are multiple awards authorized? If so, how are they represented on the ribbon- bronze penises or vulva?

Gerbils.

I'm not sure, maybe you can ask the Soldier pictured in the original article. What's his name again?

bronze penises or vulva

How dare you present such a binary solution to this complex issue that plagues our Soldiers every day. Thinking like this is the very source of the problem; clearly YOU are the paragon of everything that is wrong with this hypermasculine, narrow-minded society. You need to enter the 21st century, and open your mind to the FACT that servicemen/women/others throughout our ranks are not restricted to merely one of two sets of genitalia.[/sarc]

 

[policemedic]

Soooo a mini bronze hermaphrodite, then?

The Army may need to eschew the ribbon in favor of a medal in order to capture the necessary detail.

His/her dance card is full. Anyway, we have SMEs on the board I can ask.

What say you, @CDG and @pardus ?

Sir: Stop speaking all educated. I went to Philly public highschool and the word "binary" makes me think of math...for which I flunked.:wall:
