520 |a "When two studies by a Pentagon research group found that there was no justification for keeping gay people out of the military, the generals deep-sixed the reports. Congressman Gerry S. Studds and his legislative assistant, Kate Dyer, acting on a tip, uncovered the documents and forced the Pentagon to release them. The complete reports are in this book. There reports contain a rigorous investigation of the homosexual's place in society and in the military. But they go beyond that. Young people just coming out, as well as their parents, will find that the reports provide a valuable and unbiased perspective on what it means to be a lesbian or gay man today."--Publisher's description.
