Veterans Day: Thank You Sgt. Bleu Copas
November 11, 2009
Linguist and Army Sergeant Bleu Copas served from 2002 to 2006, when he was outed by an anonymous tip telling Army officials to break Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy by asking Sgt. Copas if he was gay. They did. They also asked Sgt. Copas if he knew any gay people and if he was ever involved in community theater.
While he complied with the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell law by refusing to answer “the question” without legal representation, the investigation continued until he was finally fired for being gay.

Sgt. Copas, thank you for serving your country.
