| Summary: | In this book, the author explains how the military's new anti-gay policy is fundamentally misdescribed by its common nickname "Don't Ask/Don't Tell." The phrase implies that servicemenbers are discharged not for who they are but for what they do: if they keep quiet about their sexual orientation and desist from "homosexual conduct," all will be well. The author reveals that this is in fact not how the policy works: status, not conduct, is what the policy regulates. |
