Artist documents same-sex military couples in new photo project
On September 20, 2011, the U.S. military ban on open service for gay and lesbian service members, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," was repealed. For the past year, gay and lesbian military personnel have been able to serve openly and honestly without fear of being discharged.
This fall, Tatjana Plitt, an artist from Australia, is working to document these gay and lesbian service members, who for the first time can publicly express their love and commitment to their husbands, wives, or partners. She's touring much of the East coast from September through December to photograph same-sex military couples, and eventually, she'd like to include a collection of the photos in art galleries or a photo book. Learn more about her project HERE. And check out the photos on this page for some examples of Tatjana's work...
