The following folder contains a copy of my senior thesis,
entitled "Be All You Can Be But....  An Examination of the
Constitutional Perspectives of the Ban Against Gays and
Lesbians in the United States Armed Forces."  I wrote it for
my BA, in political science, at Washington College in
Chestertown Maryland.

The thesis is contained in one file (TSTHESIS.TXT), and for
convenience it has also been broken down into manageable
sections: Introduction (TSINTRO.TXT), Chapter One
(TSCHAP1.TXT), Chapter Two (TSCHAP2.TXT), Chapter Three
(TSCHAP3.TXT), Chapter Four (TSCHAP4.TXT), Conclusion
(TSCONCL.TXT), and Cases Cited and Bibliography
(TSCASES.TXT).  The whole thesis is approximately 50 pages,
single spaced with one inch margins.

If you want to know more about this subject check out the
list of cases cited and the bibliography.  I would recommend
"Conduct Unbecoming" by Randy Shilts for fun light reading.
If you want more of a legal perspective check out "Sexual
Orientation and the Law" by the Editors of the Harvard Law
Review or any of the cases discussed.

Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors that you
might find...  : - (

All of the information contained in this work is correct to
best of my knowledge at the time it was written.

IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY SENDING ME A NOTE ON
EMAIL, INCLUDE ANY COMMENTS, CRITICISM OR QUESTIONS YOU MAY
WISH.
