Abstract
The U.S. military services presently restrict homosexual
individuals from entering the armed forces, and discharge
gay service members once they have been discovered to be
homosexual. As a result of recent social, judicial and
political change within the United States, increasing pressure
has been placed on the U.S. military to reevaluate and
change its homosexuality-related regulations. This paper
summarizes recent homosexuality-related changes in America,
defines homosexuality and analyzes the extent of homosexuality
in the military, examines the military's position, and explores
the implications of a military policy change which would
permit military service by homosexual men and women.
