Army starts lesbianism proceedings
Spring Break Escapes by SUA
FORT LEAVENWORTH — Discharge proceedings have begun against eight U.S. Army enlisted women suspected of lesbianism, a military spokesman said yesterday Homosexuals have against Defense Department regulations.
Get ready for your Spring Break vacation NOW. Stop by the SUA Office, Main Union, for more information about the trips, or call 864-3477.
Five of the women have waived their rights to individual board-of-offices bearings and three have requested them, Lt. Col. Bill Arbogast said.
An ongoing investigation into alleged lesbian affairs which result in discharge measures against three other female soldiers, he said.
Ruth Lichtwartt, president of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, said she did not know about the discharge proceedings at Fort Leavenworth but called the Defense Department regulations "out and out homophobia."
SHE ALSO SAID THE decision to
receive a hearing was up to
the individual.
"If I were in one of their places, assuming they are gay — it might just be a witch hunt — I do what Leonard Matlovich did," she said. Matlovich
She said Matlovich, who lives in California, was court-martialed when he told his commanding officer that he was gay, Matlovich, who was in the U.S. Air Force, fought back and eventually won a large settlement.
was "the first gay to openly fight the military," she said."
Each of the eight cases will be studied by a commanding officer who has the authority to direct separation from the service, he said.
The commanding officer in each case has three options, Arbogast said. He can review the recommendation and make an immediate decision that the evidence does not warrant discharge. He can form a board of officers that will review the evidence and render a decision, or, if the individual has waived the board of officers hearing, as the commander in the commanding officer can make the decision on whether to proceed with discharge proceedings.
NONE OF THE WOMEN suspected of involvement in lesbian relationships were jailed, Arbogast said. But he would not say whether the women were relieved of their duties pending the outcome of the rulings.
Two of the women contacted the
American Civil Liberties Union for legal aid, said Paul Siegel, executive director of the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri. A decision on whether to assist the often probably wrongly duared during a 31 meeting of ACLU officials, he said.
Although Siegel doubted whether federal courts would rule the military's action against the women as unconstitutional, Siegel questioned the methods the Army used to gather information against the women. They also are unable to confront their accusers he said.
"We find them repugnant," he said of Defense Department regulations prohibiting homosexual affairs. "It's ridiculous."
THE ARMY BANS homosexuality to "foster mutual trust and confidence among members, to insure the integrity of the system of rank and command, to facilitate assignment and worldwide deployment of members who frequently must live and work in diverse conditions, offering minimal privacy to recruit and retain members of the armed forces, to maintain public acceptability of military service and to prevent breaches of security."
