Description
Most people have heard of the United States' infamous "e;Don't Ask, Don't Tell"e; policy, yet few know about Australia's own history of LGBT military service. In Serving in Silence? lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender servicemen and women share their personal stories for the first time. The book explores the emotional stress they experienced hiding their sexuality or gender identity under official bans, as well as the challenges facing those who have served openly in the last 25 years.
