One Foot In, One Foot Out: The Continued Struggle with Coming Out in a Hyper-Masculine U.S. Military

Více o knize

Dr. Nikolov brings to light through his interviews and experiences as a former Army drill sergeant leader, some of the issues that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and lesbian U.S. military service members faced during the often-dismissed, discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Many in the closet were outed, and those who were suspected or known to be gay were harassed and discriminated against, and some committed suicide as a result of the torment. He also makes recommendations on how to come out for those who have one foot in and one foot out of the closet and how to improve the organizational relationship between LGBT service members and leaders in today's modern U.S. military.
