Sugar-Baby Bridge
What does it say about an institution that it requires some of its members to lie about or not disclose prominent aspects of their personal lives? UI student Brett Edward Stout calls it "discrimination." The United States military calls it Don't Ask, Don't Tell. "It facilitates, to use the awful word, the idea that something could be un-American," said Stout, who is also gay and a former Marine. "And that something is being gay, as being un-American.

His début novel, Sugar-Baby Bridge, follows Brad, a Marine who has just finished his tour of duty and is exploring his life and sexuality on a journey with an older man named Ron.
