It's hard to believe that 16 years have passed since Bill Clinton capitulated to right-wing attacks on his proposal to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, or that little has changed since. Screening in the U.S. on the PBS-TV Series "Independent Lens" on June 16th, the documentary "ASK NOT" from San Francisco filmmaker JOHNNY SYMONS provides a vivid behind-the-scenes portrait of the movement to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
