Don' ask, dom't tell vets given honorable discharges

Nearly all US service members who were forcibly separated from the military when the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was in place have now been honorably discharged, defense department officials announced on Tuesday.

The policy, which went into effect on 28 February 1994 during then president Bill Clinton’s administration, barred service members from being openly gay, lesbian or bisexual – otherwise legally defined as those with “a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts”. Under the policy, other service members were also not allowed to ask each other about their sexual orientation.

Clinton implemented the policy as a loophole to allow LGBTQ+ Americans, who historically were prevented from joining the military, to serve. Still, many LGBTQ+ service members were found out and speedily discharged.
