Topic: Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Movie and Discussion
“I made the decision that I was willing to go back into the closet to serve my country. It’s a very lonely existence to be in constant fear of someone finding out.” —Alex Nicholson, former Private, U.S. Army
Learn more about the highly discriminatory law "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" enacted by President Bill Clinton. ASK NOT exposes the tangled political battles that led to DADT and examines the societal shifts that have occurred since its 1993 passage. Since the law’s implementation, more than 12,000 personnel have been discharged including linguists and others whose skills are critical to military operations. In ASK NOT, current and veteran gay soldiers reveal how the policy has affected them during their tours of duty as they struggle to maintain a double life, uncertain of whom they can trust. Discussion will follow after the movie.
Hope to see you there!
