Welcome to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue Database, a project of the Robert Crown Law Library at Stanford Law School. This Database is one of several digital law projects developed by the Library implementing new technologies and the Internet to assist students, teachers and practitioners of law. The Don't Database contains primary materials on the U.S. military's policy on sexual orientation, from World War I to the present, as identified by Professor Janet E. Halley's book, Don't: A Reader's Guide to the Military's Anti-Gay Policy (Duke University Press, 1999), including legislation; regulations; internal directives of service branches; materials on particular service members' proceedings (from hearing board transcripts to litigation papers and court decisions); policy documents generated by the military, Congress, the Department of Defense and other offices of the Executive branch; and advocacy documents submitted to government entities.

Welcome Servicemembers! GLSME, or Gay and Lesbian Servicemembers for Equality, is a resource for active duty LGBT servicemembers, their partners, straight allies, and families. My goal is to provide you with a safe network of support, a forum in which to discuss and share ideas, news and information on LGBT military issues, and people to contact if you have specific concerns or need assistance.

About Us “Welcome to the Military Equality Alliance (MEA), a grassroots voice for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender service members, veterans and their allies!

Thank you for visiting our site and learning more about how you can help these efforts.

Tim McVeigh

My name is Tim McVeigh and I have created this web site
because an administrative separation board, convened by Submarine Squadron Three,
in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, had recommended that I be separated from the military service. That action was then endorsed by the Chief of Naval Personnel.
Why was I being recommended for separation?
Merely because the word "gay" was in one of my America Online profiles.
I believe that the Navy's decision was unfair and I fought for what I knew was right.
This web site is just one of the ways in which I continue to fight.

Transgender American
Veterans Association
 

Formed to address the growing concerns of fair and equal treatment of transgender veterans and active duty service members.  As the population of gender-different people increases, then so does the population of veterans and active duty service members who identify as such.  TAVA serves as an educational organization that will help the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense to better understand the individuals they encounter who identify as being gender-different.  We have also served proudly, and will continue to do so.
