Although 79 percent of Americans support allowing
gay and lesbian troops to serve openly,
the military continues to hunt down and discharge
qualified service members. This series
of profiles of lesbian service members shows
the flaws in the assertion that allowing gay and

with honor will cause a breakdown of morale
and unit cohesion.
Zsa Zsa Gershick served as a reservist in the

of Gay Old Girls, as well as a series of articles for
The Texas Observer and The Texas Triangle profiling
high-achieving service members discharged for
being gay. She lives in Los Angeles.
