Intro to Gender Studies
Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) was a policy implemented by the United States military from 1993 to 2011 that prohibited openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals from serving in the armed forces. Under this policy, service members were not required to disclose their sexual orientation, but they could be discharged if their sexual orientation became known. This created a culture of secrecy and fear among LGBTQ+ service members and sparked significant activism for LGBTQ+ rights within and outside the military.
