Interview Clip:
Moreno: I have read so many thank you notes and messages from your fans and readers who have found your book so inspiring. What has been your reaction to the book’s success?
Lehmkuhl: I’m glad that the book has had such success mostly because it’s opened so many minds to what our U.S. Armed Forces really does to our LGBT&Q service members and to the U.S. Taxpayer when they put people in our community through court martial proceedings and, ultimately, ruin their lives, careers, and years of hard work and dedication. I won’t stop speaking up about these issues until “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” has been abolished. Once it has been overturned, I will start fighting to have our LGBT&Q service members who were affected by the past policy monetarily compensated by our government for the human rights abuse they underwent under the atrocious policies that hurt them under “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and the ongoing ban on gay people in the U.S. Armed Forces.
