DEOMI Review and Recommendations Based on Readily Available Australian Defense Force Experiences with the Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell: The Effects of Including Gay and Lesbian Soldiers in the Australian Defense Forces

Abstract

In 1992, the ban on homosexuals serving in the Australian Defense Forces (ADF) was lifted; however, this decision was met with strong opposition from service members and ADF service chiefs. In addition to spreading AIDS and encouraging predatory behavior, it was suggested that the lifting of the ban would jeopardize recruitment, mission effectiveness, and group cohesion.
