“Hidden” gay cadets are put in the spotlight at West Point: Report

by

“The resignation this month of Katherine Miller (above), a top cadet who blogged anonymously about her lesbianism, has turned a spotlight on the hidden gay culture here and revived debate on campus about “don’t ask, don’t tell,” at a time when Washington is also focused on the issue.” 

“Ms. Miller, who wrote under the name “Private Second Class Citizen” about enduring gay slurs and faking a heterosexual dating history, is transferring to Yale University this fall and has become something of a media celebrity, appearing on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC and on ABC News.”

Question:  Is “lesbianism” a real word?

Anyway, more in today’s New York Times.
