In 1993 President Clinton initiated the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy (DADT) which
allowed gays to serve in the military, provided they did not reveal their sexual
preferences. Despite attempts to curb sexual harassment, it has continued to plague
the military

‘or marry an individual of the same sex. 92 A violation of any of these provisions results in discharge from
the armed forces. 93 The intended purpose of the "Don't Ask, Dont Tell” law is “sexual orientation alone
