I may have to start a DOT of the Week/Month, because this picture is freakin' fantastic! It's kind of a DOT Uncle Sam pic that says "Lesbian Life Wants You"! And who knew there were little DOTS running around in the 60's? Kidding! Note to parents: if your daughter wants to play with toy guns and walkie talkies, time to join PFLAG. I love the intensity our subject shows with her eyes. She ain't foolin' anyone. Not even herself. What a DOT!

Words from our subject:Philadelphia, PA
"I loooooooooooooved being a law-enforcement agent. The smell of my cap gun...the feel of my plastic army hat...it didn't matter that there was rarely anyone on the other end of my walkie-talkie. I can look back to that time (mid-late 60's) and know that I was most comfortable in my skin as a tomboy. It took every ounce of my mom's will to convince me to wear a bra (at 12). I didn't want boobs. I wanted to play with the boys and be free."
