Honorable Discharge Memoirs of an Army Dyke: The Donna Jackson Story

Rating:
Summary: not your typical gay ex-soldier text
Review: So many of the books from lesbians and gay men expelled from the American military are written by middle-class, "respectable", officers. This book comes from a Jane Doe lesbian in the military. She later did an adult photo spread in a lesbian porno magazine. She details being raped while on duty at least four times: a true testament to the rampant misogyny in the armed services. Still, whereas Margarethe Cammermeyer's book is meant to inspire straights and gays, this book really lets it all hang out (sorry for the phallocentric language). This book will offend some readers, but it's good for looking at the life of a real, meat-and-potatoes woman discriminated by an American institution.
