Baron von Steuben: A Prussian military genius, he trained George Washington's bedraggled militia at Valley Forge, molding it into a powerful force that, to everyone's amazement, fought the mighty British to a draw at the Battle of Monmouth. Many historians consider him to be the second-most-indispensable hero of the American Revolution after Washington. In fact, Von Steuben's ideas and techniques remained the foundation of the U.S. military for 150 years. Nonetheless, most Americans have never heard of him. You see, Baron von Steuben was gay. Von Steuben's homosexuality was not incidental, since it explains why he fled Europe and ended up at Valley Forge. (From Yahoo Answers) If a known gay man was good enough for General Washington to elevate him to the position of mastermind of the training of his troops, what aren't they good enough to do for you? The "Father of our Country" did not discriminate against these people. Will you?
