Homosexuals (to include bisexuals) are currently serving their country as members of the United States military. The existence of homosexuals in the military is not a new reality and the acceptance level of their military service has shifted over the years in an increasingly positive manner. An indicator of this acceptance level has been the government's policy for homosexuals in the military. The current policy enacted by President Clinton in 1993 opened the door for homosexuals to serve in the military on the condition that they refrain from revealing their homosexuality. The policy, commonly referred to as Don't Ask, Don't Tell, was a compromise between President Clinton's desire to lift the ban entirely and end homosexual discrimination, and concerns by members of Congress and the military. One of the primary concerns voiced by Congressional and military members was the perceived negative affect allowing homosexuals to openly serve would have on good order and discipline.
