The following statement can be attributed to Aaron Belkin, director of the Palm Center: "Scholarly research suggests that many members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community encounter discrimination in the work place, that the consequences of such discrimination can be significant at the personal level and in terms of compromising the work environment, and that legal and regulatory prohibitions against discrimination would make an important contribution by reducing the frequency of discriminatory behavior. . ."

April 2, 2012 -- LOS ANGELES, CA -- In May, 2010, Palm Center director Aaron Belkin debated Elaine Donnelly, perhaps the leading opponent of DADT repeal, in front of 500 Air Force officers at the Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) in Alabama. The Air Force had planned to release the video of the debate, but the ACSC Commandant was unhappy with the session and did what he could to block its release. (You can see the ten rejection and delay notifications his office sent to the Palm Center here). At long last, Palm has managed to obtain a copy of the video, which we have posted on this page. For the full story of the debate and the video, see the March/April 2012 edition of OutServe Magazine.
A blog hosted by USA Today has mischaracterized the results of a newly-published study concerning military attitudes about the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."
