Right to Serve Campaign: Middletown, Connecticut

January 1, 1998 by soulforce

Middletown, Connecticut

Right to Serve Campaign: Middletown, Connecticut

In 30 cities across the country this fall, openly gay young adults will attempt to enlist in the armed forces. Never before in the 13 years of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ have openly gay youth publicly challenged the policy by attempting to sign up for the service. When their right to serve is denied, young adults — both gay and straight — from across Connecticut will begin a sit-in.

Matt Danzig and Andrew Zack are leading this campaign in Middletown to show the American people how this law is government-sanctioned discrimination.

Support the youth-led efforts to create an activist movement for LGBT rights. Sign up to participate in the sit-in or make a donation to help cover the cost this campaign in your area. Let us know that you support the right to serve.
