Introduction The policy also known as the disambiguation policy had been the official policy in the United States military since 21st December 1993 until the 20th of September 2011. The policy banned open gays and lesbians personnel from working in the military, and proscribed against discrimination of the closeted gays and lesbians. The policy was in the Pub.L. 103-160 (10 U.S.C. § 654) of the federal law. The basis of the policy was on the qualities that a military officer should have in order to be seen as a committed officer. The military believe in morale discipline and working as a family unit. Therefore, the presence of homosexuals or bisexuals in the military would not be in respect to the values set by the army. The homosexuals and bisexuals who were in the military did not talk about their sexual preferences, (Cochran, Mayer, Carr, Cayer, Mckenzie, 2011). The policy was in two parts, the first part being the ‘don’t ask’ where the senior officers did not have a right of starting any investigation in the military. The only exception to this clause was when the superiors had a reason to do so like when they see an officer engaging in unbecoming behaviors. The officers did not have the right to mistreat the suspected bisexual or homosexual officers, or undertake any investigation without the consent of the authorities. Most of the officers; who had confessed or who had come out to the open and made their sexuality known, lost their jobs after the policy got implemented.

History of the ‘don’t ask and don’t tell’ policy The United States military has long since been keen on the sexual preference of its officers. This was evident in the past wars and revolution that have taken place in the country. The first case of discharge of officers from the army due to their sexual preference was in 1778. Lieutenant Gotthold Frederick Enslin was accused of committing sodomy to a fellow officer. He had to leave the army at once because the policies of the military do not allow such acts. Officers were discharged from their duties due to homosexuality and bisexuality during the Second World War. Before the United joined the world war two, there was screening process that aimed at testing the psychiatric condition of officers. The military officers who were homosexuals or bisexuals got murdered through court martial’s or discharged from their duties. The emergence of psychopathy in the military helped ease the punishment because the officers were preparing for war and had no time to call for court martial, (Johnson, 2011). The blue discharge became common during this time of war. In 1944, homosexuals and bisexuals got admitted in psychiatric centers’ where they were under close surveillance. This was because the psychopathology, termed them as psychiatric cases. The officers were later sent home and the law that permitted the act was the 615-360, section 8. The blue discharge continued for three years and the “general”, and “undesirable” replaced it in 1947. The new system discharged the o
