Referenda And The District Of Columbia's Human Rights Act: Voting On Same-Sex Marriage In The Nation's Capital, Jacob Stewart Jun 2011

Referenda And The District Of Columbia's Human Rights Act: Voting On Same-Sex Marriage In The Nation's Capital, Jacob Stewart

Legislation and Policy Brief

Beginning with Massachusetts in 2003, the courts and legislatures of many states have had to decide whether same-sex marriage is or should be a fundamental right under their respective constitutions. Although only five states and the District of Columbia legally perform same-sex marriages, a few other jurisdictions are in the process of proposing laws moving in that direction. However, the vast majority of states are holding fast to the traditional heterosexual definition of marriage. Thirty-eight states have adopted some sort of Defense of Marriage Act, constitutional amendment, or similar measure that defines marriage as the union between one man and …


"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - Except In A Job Interview: The Discriminatory Effect Of The Policy On A Veteran's Employment, Amanda Alquist Pope Jan 2011

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - Except In A Job Interview: The Discriminatory Effect Of The Policy On A Veteran's Employment, Amanda Alquist Pope

Legislation and Policy Brief

A United States military veteran’s ability to receive benefits, such as preference in federal employment is, in part, based upon the reason for discharge. Lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) members of the military may be dishonorably discharged under the “policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces,” commonly referred to as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT). Under this policy, the reason for discharge on a service member’s papers may be listed as “homosexual conduct,” “homosexual act,” or “homosexual admission.” One major discriminatory effect of this policy is that, given the narrative reason that appears on the dis-charge form, this policy effectively …

“For Any Reason”: Paper Promises To Protect Service Members, Tami Martin Sep 2010

“For Any Reason”: Paper Promises To Protect Service Members, Tami Martin

Legislation and Policy Brief

In short, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) is the law that prohibits lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals from serving openly in the military. Despite the fact that the Obama Administration has yet to fulfill the campaign promise of ending DADT, many believe the question is more "when" than "if" it will be repealed. Much attention has focused on ending the policy, but it is also important to consider what might happen after repeal. This article briefly examines the history of DADT, major policies meant to protect service members from harassment they experience because of their actual or perceived sexual …
