Dr. Lorenzo McFarland on anniversary of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal

09/20/2024 09:30 AM EDT

I joined the Air Force in May 1987 as an Aerospace Medicine Technician, providing care to anyone on flying status, and conducting occupational health and physical examinations. I entered the military before Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) became law, when it wasn’t as simple as not telling someone you were gay. Commanders could start investigations on anyone suspected of being gay; the mere perception that you were gay could get you investigated and kicked out. [From VA News]
