For more than 200 years, open military service has been punishable or banned in one form or another. With the congressional repeal bill signed into law December 22, 2010, a new era of military service begins in the United States. Join Jeremy Johnson and his guests for a weekly podcast looking at LGBT issues related to open service in the U.S. armed forces. Jeremy is a U.S. Navy veteran (1996-2007) and former military broadcaster who was discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" after outing himself to his commanding officer. The issues discussed cover everything from the history of the policy to the future of benefits for same-gender partners and spouses.
Upcoming episodes will examine:
- Religion and Open Service
- Medical choices
- Straight allies
- Myths and lies of DADT
- The repeal process
Plus... interviews with veterans include well-known as well as untold stories.
