The year was 1980. Penelope Cartier made the decision to enlist into the Army. She felt being in the military wouldn't be any different then college, but she was so wrong. She tells her story of living a secret live and the struggles she endured as a lesbian serving before the ban was lifted to serve openly. She tells of her secret love live and the sexual harassment and threats because she was gay. Thousand of military women lived as closeted homosexuals, feeling ashamed of who they were and who they loved, just to serve their country. Over half of them today have some range of post-traumatic stress disorder associated with military sexual trauma. Read her story of living a secret life and how she overcomes years of sexual and verbal abuse.
