Lesbians in the Military Speak Out

Winni S. Webber

their country while hiding their sexual orientation from hostile

authorities.

If this were a movie, it would be acclaimed as poignantly

powerful cinema verit . As the Minerva Quarterly Report wrote:

‘One cannot read this book without being struck by the courage of

the women speaking out here. It is thus a healing book in two

very important ways: first, in the sense that it documents voices

previously silenced by legal and social censure, and second, in

the sense that its purpose is to help build bridges, not

barriers, to understanding. As the U.S. armed forces and other

American social institutions continue to struggle with this

difficult and volatile issue, Webber’s book…stands as highly

recommended reading amidst the confusing and often painful

dialogue that accompanies questions concerning the role of gay

and lesbian people in a democratic society.’
