Since former President Clinton introduced the policy in 1993, Don't Ask Don't Tell has served as an institutionalized tool of homophobia. The policy outlawed any person from serving openly in the military as gay or bisexual, and forced thousands of soliders to hide their identity from the same people they were trusting with their lives.
