The \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell, don\u2019t pursue\u201d policy, implemented as a political compromise in 1993 and 1994, legislated the silence of gay and lesbian soldiers on active duty and in the reserves. I argue that this silence about gays in the military has led to a collective amnesia about the service and sacrifices of homosexual troops. In this case, the politics of military service are also the politics of memory. If we forget that gay and lesbian Americans have served their country, then we as a nation are much less likely to view them as full citizens, deserving of civil rights and equal protection of the law. Oral history provides one way to break this silence, to \u201cask and tell\u201d about the military careers of gay and lesbian soldiers and to allow these veterans to speak for themselves about the current military policy.<\/p>\n

The activist must \u201cAsk and Tell,\u201d but the scholar has a responsibility to do more. My research and interviews with over 50 gay and lesbian veterans of the US military has four primary objectives. First, I chart the evolution of military policies on homosexuality since World War II, and I show that gay and lesbian responses to those policies were far from monolithic. I place the fight to lift the ban of open gay military service in other context of struggles for civil rights, particularly the African American struggle against discrimination and segregation in the US military. Finally, I explore the ways that silence about sexuality and military service has affected the dual \u2013 and sometimes dueling \u2013 identities of the gay veteran.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
