Don't Ask, Don't Tell - How the US Military Violates Human Rights

"When Air Force physician Monica Hill's partner of 14 years, Terry, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Monica requested a leave of absence to care for her. Sadly, two months later, Terry died on September 11, 2001. While still coping with the tragic loss of her partner, Monica was involuntarily discharged from the military because she had violated the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy when she asked to be at her dying partner's side."

This clip is an excerpt from the controversial documentary by indie director Louise Hogarth. More at www.dolfilms.org

I have to ask, what were your reasons for being afraid of "gays"?

People are all individuals so I'm often amazed how a person could simply group everyone together based on something as such.

I think more people need to take the 7 minutes and 37 seconds to watch this video.

America is such an idiotic nation.

Terrific video. I used to be afraid of gays, until I actually met some, and they were...just people, like anyone else. I hope this project gets completed, and opens some peoples eyes. P.S. I'm surprised that none of the typical homophobic types have chimed in - perhaps they know that those who openly hate gays the most have themselves something to hide?
