The author, who was a co-winner of the second Amazing Race, tells the story of his childhood and the years he spent as a cadet at the Air Force Academy. Much of the book relates the difficulties he faced as he came to acknowledge his sexuality in the military school environment in which he could not be open about who he was. The story ends with the author's graduation from the Academy. While the author's story is interesting, this is one of the worst-edited books I have ever attempted to read. The author was done a great disservice by such poor editing. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Reichen Lehmkuhl is perhaps best known for the ambition, intelligence, and athleticism that won him the grand prize on CBS's Amazing Race. Since winning the million-dollar prize, Lehmkuhl has gone on to find success acting in film and television. However, he played the biggest role of his life long before his professional acting debut, when he was forced to hide his sexuality to comply with the Air Force's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Here's What We'll Say tells the harrowing inside story of what happens when cadets who are committed to serving their nation's military figure out that they are in fact gay. With no way out and no place to turn for protection, a new code of conduct emerged among gay and lesbian cadets that helped ensure their safety. Gathering secretly in various locations, cadets formed a hidden network. To guarantee the privacy of individuals in attendance, however, each meeting opened with, "Here's what we'll say..." -- a pledge so sacred that the group had it inscribed on the inside of their class rings.
