This week's guest is Chip Hall (he/him). Chip is a US Coast Guard veteran and shares with us his experience of being a queer person in the Coast Guard while the anti-queer Don’t Ask Don’t Tell legislation was in full effect. He also, as he shares, was a leader in bringing internal change to the US Coast Guard and Coast Guard Academy with regards to queerness and queer visibility in the greater effort to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Chip shares with us about all of this plus his own personal journey of discovering and navigating his identity as a gay man.  Chip is a real life friend of mine and so it was an extra treat getting to chat with him in such a focused way, and I am SO excited to invite you into this conversation.About the guest:Chip Hall (he/him) is a San Francisco based lawyer and US Coast Guard Veteran.
