With special guest co-host, esteemed journalist, Brody Levesque!
After a highly decorated 18-year career in the Air Force, Major Margaret Witt was discharged based on an allegation that she had engaged in sexual conduct with another woman: a civilian with whom she was in a committed relationship, in their home, miles from any military base. The ACLU of Washington sued, claiming that the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and its application to Witt, violated her rights of liberty and equal protection. She won her case in 2010 and settled with the Air Force in 2011. The success of the Witt case at the Ninth Circuit and the district court contributed to Congress's passage of legislation finally allowing the executive branch to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
Now, Witt is ready to tell her whole story to the world in her upcoming memoir, TELL: Love, Defiance, and the Military Trial at the Tipping Point for Gay Rights, which she has co-written with Tim Connor. Major Witt is inspiring beyond imagination and reading about all the action behind the scenes gives the reader a whole new appreciation for her bravery, the ACLU, and our military.
“Major Witt’s trial provided an unparalleled opportunity to attack the central premise of [Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell] . . .
and set an important precedent.”— The New York Times

Empowered by the rhetoric of Donald Trump, neo-Nazis have hit the streets triggered by the removal of Confederate statues. Among the diverse expressions of hatred they make, the bigoted throng seems obsessed with LGBTQ people -- from homophobic chants to verbal attacks of prominent transgender individuals, homophobia and transphobia is part of the fabric. What is the LGBTQ community response? Are there actual sympathizers within our mix? How have our advocacy groups mobilized against this emboldened minority? What has this done to areas where there is racial tension amongst LGBTQ people? These are some of the things we will talk to our distinguished journalist panel -- all of whom are in the frontlines on this story. Tonight, our guests include:
Brody Levesque is a top journalist, author and commentator.
Karen Ocamb is an award winning LGBTQI Press Pioneer, who is currently the Senior Editor at the LA Blade.
Will Batts is the Executive Director of OutMemphis & the LGBTQI Centre in Memphis, TN.
Cynthia M. Deitle , Matthew Shepard Foundation, Programs and Operations Director

Donald Trump disrupted the lives of approximately 15,000 heroic transgender military citizens with one of the most bizarre and irresponsible presidential communications in history:
"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," Trump wrote. "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."
We talk again to Matt Thorn, Executive Director of OutServe and Brody Levesque, expert journalist. They will give us the very latest on this horrific situation, a Pentagon in chaos and a military that is angry and in turmoil as a result.

Exclusive: The attack against Trans Military people from some GOP in Congress
While we are all distracted about Trump, tweets, Russia and Healthcare, some GOP hatemongers have been trying to overtly attack transgender military personnel. So far the most heinous attempt was thwarted by narrowly few votes. The threat is not gone, and tonight we talk to some folks behind the scene.
Matthew F. Thorn, Executive Director of OutServe-SLDN tells us about his campaign against these initiatives, and details of the fight ahead. Matt sits on a variety of Boards of Director's from state to national organizations and volunteers his time to a variety of progressive and social change non-profits and advocacy groups. He is a leading fundraising and non-profit management professional. For the last decade his work has consisted of a variety of areas including the homeless, the arts, education, the developmentally disabled and LGBT issues.
Brody Levesque, good friend of the show, and leading journalist also joins to give some perspective to this issue as it sits in the current social and political landscape.
