October is LGBT History Month, a time to celebrate all the brave people who came before us and to remember the enormous impact they have made. At GLAAD, this month also signals an opportunity to tell the stories of some of history’s unsung heroes.

In this edition of LGBT en Español, LGBT military personnel celebrate the repeal of DADT. Plus two gay men expecting twins, Cristian Castro's same-sex kiss and more.
