ABSTRACT
Would allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the U.S. military impinge upon the privacy rights of heterosexual service members? Aaron Belkin of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Melissa Sheridan Embser-Herbert of Hamline University debunk arguments that the gay ban is necessary to protect privacy. They explain why lifting the ban would actually enhance the privacy rights of heterosexual as well as homosexual service members.
