Don't Ask, Don't Tell:: A fictional story about the war on the LGBTQ community

In 1993 the United States military implemented a policy named “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” under President Bill Clinton. The policy was supposed to help the LGBTQ community stay in the military as long as they didn’t tell a soul. Unfortunately, this policy forced millions of soldiers to deny who they are.

This fictional story is based on an actual United Nations Peacekeeping mission in the Former Yugoslavia when the policy changed in the military. It follows a gay soldier named Kyle Hertzberg, straight out of basic training, who is sent on this Peacekeeping mission in the Former Yugoslavia. He has never stepped foot outside his hometown in Southern California, and soon faces the ominous possibility of losing his life in a war torn country while hiding his identity as a gay man.
