In "Don't", Janet E. Halley explains how the American military's new anti-gay policy is fundamentally misdescribed by its common nickname, 'Don't Ask/Don't Tell.' This ubiquitous phrase, she points out, implies that it discharges service members not for who they are, but for what they do. It insinuates that, as long as military personnel keep quiet about their homosexual orientation and desist from 'homosexual conduct,' no one will try to pry them out of their closets and all will be well. Not so, reveals Halley. Using cultural and critical theory seldom applied to explain the law, Halley argues that, far from providing privacy and an assurance that servicemembers' careers will be ruined only if they engage in illegal conduct, the rule activates a culture of minute surveillance in which every member must strictly avoid using any gesture in an ever-evolving lexicon of 'conduct that manifests a propensity.'In other words, not only homosexuals but all military personnel are placed in danger by the new policy. Halley ends with a persuasive discussion about how it is both unconstitutional and, politically, an act of sustained bad faith. This knowledgeable and eye-opening analysis of one of the most important public policy debates of the 1990s will interest legal scholars, policymakers, activists, military historians and personnel, as well as citizens concerned about issues of discrimination.
