Jeff Key had already come out as gay to his friends and family, graduated with a degree in theater, and moved from Alabama to Los Angeles when - at age 34 - he decided to join the Marine Corps. He was excited to defend the Constitution and “kick some ass,” but was outraged when he learned, after a tour in Iraq, that there were no weapons of mass destruction. So he came out as gay on CNN and the Marine Corps expelled him under their “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy.
That over the last 14 years, more than 11,000 service members, including dozens of Arabic linguists, have been thrown out of the military because of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

Jeff's documentary
I saw Jeff's documentary on Showtime. The documentary was extraordinary, for once it was a documentary that didnt show muslims in a negative light. It showed how innocent kids are being impacted and how kids are kids. Thank you Jeff for your compassion. I couldn't care less about Jeff's sexual orientation, it is his personal business.
great show
Just saw Jeff's documentary on Showtime. It was fabulous. This should not be missed. It would be a great world to have more upstanding people like Jeff around. Jeff, you should consider running for public office.
