Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a policy of the United States military. Basically it orders that military personnel should not ask if a serving member of the armed forces is gay or not. Those who are gay or who know that a serving member is gay are not allowed to tell about it either. This ruling makes it harder to harass any serving member of the military for being gay though what happens unofficially is anyone's guess. This ruling also prevents serving service personnel from being openly gay.

The Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy has been successfully challenged in Court but the court decision is being appealed and we don't know yet how things will end.
