Through compelling photographs and interviews made over
three years on numerous road trips across the US, Vincent
Cianni (born 1952) has created an important historical
record of the struggles of gay and lesbian men and women in
the US military. As the Human Rights Commission attests, the
US military has a long history of human and civil rights
abuses against homosexuals, with harassment and
discrimination frequently resulting in lost careers and
damaged lives. In many cases, these men and women had
attained high rank, received numerous medals and held
top-level jobs that were essential to the military. With
essays by Alan Steinman, Don Bramer and Alison Nordstrom
that shed light on the political, personal and cultural
consequences of the ban, this volume reveals the stories of
men and women who served in silence, suffered decades of
abuses and often were penalized and prohibited from
receiving the benefits accorded them for serving in the
military.
