Discharged Soldiers File Suit Against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

HeadlineDec 14, 2010

Three U.S. soldiers discharged under the law barring openly gay servicemembers have filed a lawsuit against the federal government. On Monday, the soldiers asked a U.S. District Court in San Francisco to grant them reinstatement in the military and declare the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy unconstitutional. The suit comes just days after U.S. Senate Republicans blocked advancement of a measure to repeal the ban.
