Gay British Army Trooper Speaks Out About Coming Out



British Trooper Ben Rakestrow is speaking out about his time in the British Army and his service in Afghanistan, where he came out to his fellow soldiers... 'They couldn't believe it.' But Trooper Rakestrow, from Exeter, said it was the best decision of his life, adding that he was accepted and treated as an equal. He said: 'I get banter from them all the time, but it's good banter. They all want to know about my life, they ask a lot of questions. I don't find it hard to talk about it.'

5. Good for him...
although I don't think I'd be caught dead with Zac Efron bed sheets. Now my old childhood "Alf" bed sheets...that's what I'm talking about. :P
