Friday | 7/10/2020 | Being LGBTQ in the USMC - A Discussion (Vanessa Guillen Rest In Peace)
from Good Morning Aurora · host Studio B: The Host
Today we sat down with Ale Hernandez, USMC veteran, LGBTQ member and friend of the show. In our conversation we discuss MST (Military Sexual Trauma), her experiences and we also talk about the culture of the military. For many people unfamiliar with military life this provides clarity through the eyes of a veteran. Oftentimes, trauma goes unreported but no member of any branch of the armed services should feel that way. At many military institutions, the culture of partying and excessive drinking has led to some of the issues being talked about today. As a veteran, we appreciate Ale's willingness to sit down and speak with us We appreciate her honesty and candid, frank talk. Shout outs for the weekend and into next wee include our friends at Vizo Arts, Aurora Public Art & Tredwell Coffee. Shout outs to Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry and EASD131 for the commitment to keeping the community fed during a pandemic. Special shouts to McCarty Mills, PLS for their support and sponsorship. Shout out The Venue online, AMVETS, NAACP (STEAM Academy 20th-24th) and GoVote500 Community Group (meeting Saturday the 11th at Northgate Plaze, Lake Street). Stay tuned next week for more great interviews & news. Be blessed, be powerful and be safe. We are proud to be the voice of the people. #spotify
