Soldiers Kicked Out Of The Military For Being Gay Deserve An Honorable Discharge — Why Aren’t They Getting It?watch full video

Now that gay people can serve openly in the US Military (and get legally married in all 50 states), the thousands of veterans who received dishonorable or “undesirable” discharges before the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) in 2011 obviously deserve to have their discharges upgraded to “honorable.” So why hasn’t that happened yet?
Before Obama repealed DADT, it was illegal for gay people to serve openly in the US Military, and gay service members could be kicked out of the military for as little as a casual kiss. Before Bill Clinton put DADT into place in 1994, the military also aggressively conducted investigations, interrogations and sting operations aimed at outing and expelling any service member suspected of engaging in “homosexual activity.” The effects were devastating.
