Definitely not the USAF I was in back in 1966! We were read the riot act on homosexuality each year and had to sign a statement that we understood it.

In basic, we were given a day of KP at the out processing reject homo barracks. We were ORDERED to serve the meal, “Do not laugh, giggle, stare at what you see there!”

And we saw plenty. Men with lipstick, pearls, earrings, ect.

We were then told that we would not want to be around THAT barracks at night because of what was going on there in the dark.

When I joined in 1970, a Section 8 undesirable discharge was the way to get rid of homosexuals (if a blanket party didn’t do the job). Unmarried & pregnant also got a Sec 8.

El Cid Campeador, we belong to an earlier time.

By 1979, the USAF no longer segregated them from the other troops being separated from the service. One of our flight badly injured his knee in boot camp and was being put out. He was in a place called discharge casual but was able to drop by our squadron for out processioning. Got to talk to him for a few and he told us that he had to break his crutch over some fruit who tied to put the moves on him.
