Lingering effects of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Women of the Military - A podcast by Amanda Huffman - Tuesdays
Categories:
Lorraine wanted to escape her hometown and saw the military as an option. Even though she was a member of the LGBQT+ community and knew Don't Ask Don't Tell was a regulation in place she determined she still wanted to serve. Don't ask, don't tell was repealed on September 20, 2011, less than a year after Lorraine joined the Navy. She said there were still lingering effects of discrimination for those in the LGBQT+ community and discussed those during this week's interview.
