Airman Discharged Under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell After Outing Himself | Yesterday, Metro Weekly’s Chris Geidner reported that the Air Force discharged an airman under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in April, months after the Pentagon increased the standards under which someone could be discharged and President Obama enacted legislation that began the process of repealing the policy. Now, the Air Force has revealed that the servicemember was discharged after he “made a statement that he was a homosexual.”
