Frontlines: The Latest from OutServe-SLDN

Vets Speak Out on YouTube

A group of lesbian and gay veterans are speaking out on YouTube about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and Servicemembers Legal Defense Network! The video, which provides a look at how the military's ban has impacted individual service members, includes former Airman Andre Taylor; CPL Denise Liggett, USMC (1984-1998) and Ensign, USNR (1989-1992) (pictured); former Arabic linguist Alastair Gamble; and Pat & Wally Kutteles, the parents of PFC Barry Winchell. It also includes a statement from President Clinton about how he views the ban today and a look at the work to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." You can watch the video online here. We especially want to thank Jonathan Baker, LesIsMore Productions and SLDN board member Tom Carpenter for their tireless work to prepare the video and post it online. Their hard work has resulted in a beautiful testimony about why we must lift the ban. - Steve Ralls
