Conduct Unbecoming: Lesbians and Gays in the U.S. Military from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf War is a 1993 book by American journalistRandy Shilts, in which the author traces the participation of gay and lesbian personnel from theRevolutionary War to the late 20th century.
The book was well received in a review in theLos Angeles Times which described it as "gripping reading" and "an irrefutable indictment of unconscionable government behavior in a cause that the military seems still unable to explain".[1] The historianLillian Faderman called the book "famous" inThe Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle (2015).[2]
