# Talk:Blue discharge

Isn't that an anachronism? Were any women ever discharged for lesbianism before 1947, in a time when many people thought there wasn't even such a thing as female homosexuality? -- 77.7.142.13 (talk) 23:22, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there were women discharged for homosexuality before 1947. Otto4711 (talk) 20:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

This article is detailed and provides a lot of information about the Blue discharge. All the contents in this article were relevant and provided a lot of information. None of the information in this article was out of date. Although this article describes the discrimination men received when they got a blue ticket. I would have loved to read about specific men experienced when given blue tickets and how they felt about it. And if any women were affected by the blue discharge. 
The tone of this article is neutral. The article is about the history behind blue discharges and included the aftermath of receiving a blue ticket. They represented both sides well. The article has a lot more information and equally represented both sides well. I liked that it went in-depth about how impactful receiving a blue ticket could be. It talks about how some minorities were affected more than others by receiving the blue ticket. The author made sure to write about all the viewpoints around the Blue discharge topic. 
All the links to the citations work. The sources support the claims in this article. Every fact stated in this article had a reliable and appropriate source to back it up. All 8 of the sources come from books about sexuality in the military.
The article's strengths are equally representing all the viewpoints and stating different perspectives of the Blue discharge. While reading this article, I felt that the only thing that needed improving was writing about specific people and their experience receiving the blue ticket and identifying if any women were affected by the blue discharge.
