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.

 Service Members Legal Defense Network - SLDN is dedicated to ending witch hunts, death threats, imprisonment, lesbian-baiting, discharges and other discriminatory actions against men and women in the military harmed by 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, Don't Harass,' and related policies, through direct legal assistance, watchdog activities, policy work, outreach and education, and litigation support.

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.

California

The Alexander Hamilton Post 448 (San Francisco) of the American Legion is the only post whose membership is predominantly Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered honorably discharged veterans who have successfully served in the United States Armed Forces during a period when our nation was at war. Organized in 1984, we are recognized locally, statewide and nationally for our activism pertaining to the welfare of all veterans and, especially, our efforts to end the present homophobic discrimination of the United States Military.

New England

Founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985, the New England Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Veterans, Inc., is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) "grass roots" membership based, support organization for homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered and heterosexual, active duty, reserve and veteran members of the United States Armed Forces, their families, friends and supporters.

Being a grass roots organization, the New England Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Veterans' priorities include:

• providing assistance with upgrades of all less-than-honorable military discharges based upon GLBT sexual orientation(s)
• VA benefits awareness
• Educate/advocate on behalf of GLBT veterans who suffer from:

AIDS/HIV
Homelessness
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Agent Orange
Gulf War Syndrome
Blindness
Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Social and Institutionalized prejudice and discrimination

• To the extent permitted by law, to morally oppose the inhumane "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" policy and all sodomy laws of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which are arbitrarily applied against homosexual, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered servicemembers; and encourage our own members, as well as other groups in a position to do so, to support their repeal.
