OUT of ANNAPOLIS (2010) Trailer
Loading...
Uploaded by theQboat on May 26, 2010
Despite the challenges endured because of their sexuality, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Alumni of the US Naval Academy remain strongly bonded to the institution that developed their characters as leaders in command, citizenship and government. Of over 200 known gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender US Naval Academy Alumni, more than 120 have "come out" as the LGBT alumni of the US Naval Academy. Many other LGBT alumni remain "in the closet," serving in silence while on active duty in the service of their country as officers in the US Navy and US Marine Corps. This film will explore the lives of many of these alumni, how the US Naval Academy shaped their character, their enduring strong bond to the Academy and share their experiences while at Annapolis and while serving in the naval service as an LGBT officer, both pre- and post- Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell.

@OldCavLT Shirley, you must be kidding?

@theQboat the moment they figured it out, it was their duty to inform their commanders, was it not? And their failure to report was a violation of the Honor Code, was it not? Or is the response now to tell us that they had no idea they were in violation of regulations or the code from the moment they made the determination? And, I have to tell you, their story is no more inspiring than that of any other the military discriminates against every day, in silence from those sharing your view.

@OldCavLT - Well, not exactly true. The overwhelming majority did not identify as sexual minorities at the age of 17 or 18 when they entered. They figured it out as some point either at the Academy, in the fleet, or even after they got out at the end of their commitments. Then what?? That's a big point a made in the film.
Integrity really didn't become an issue until the Clinton Administration (to to diverge) put DADT into effect, telling everyone it's OK to lie about this one thing.

Every member of the military who was serving or in any of the Academies prior to the onset of DADT lied to get in. Homosexuality was specifically prohibited.
So, while I believe allowing homosexuals to serve is disastrous in so many ways, the biggest problem I have with it is the lack of integrity and violation of the respective Honor Codes on the part of those who joined up before DADT was implemented.
