Follows the military's century-long attempt to identify and exclude gays and lesbians, and argues that military policy helped create a modern gay movement and shape the direction taken by that movement. Simultaneously, it made possible greater regulation and scrutiny of gays and lesbians both in and out of the military. [back cover].
