#113 - Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Josh Seefried) Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

Josh Seefried risked everything to help repeal 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' finally allowing LGBTQ service members to serve openly in the military. But after years of advocacy, Josh found himself on the other side of the system—wrongly accused, entangled in a years-long legal battle, and face-to-face with the deeply flawed mechanics of military justice. In this episode, he shares his remarkable journey of resilience, the price of challenging the system, and his new mission to reform the very system that nearly destroyed him.
