| - Don't Ask, Don't Tell was the 18th episode of Season 6 of Roseanne, also the 140th overall series episode. It was written by James Berg and Stan Zimmerman from an original story by Michael Borkow, and was directed by Phillip Charles MacKenzie. It originally aired on ABC-TV on March 1, 1994.
- Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a policy of the United States military. Basically it ordered that military personnel should not ask if a serving member of the armed forces was gay or not. Those who were gay or who knew that a serving member was gay were not allowed to tell about it either. This ruling made it harder to harass any serving member of the military for being gay though what happened and happens unofficially is anyone's guess. This ruling also prevented serving service personnel from being openly gay. Bill Clinton introduced this policy which many feel was an improvement on the previous policy of banning gays from serving. Since the Clinton presidency things have progressed and today servicemen and women have been campaigning for the right to be openly gay.
- "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is the third episode of the third season of ER. It is the 50th episode overall. It first aired on October 10, 1996.

- Carrie struggles to find the right time to tell Aidan about her affair. Miranda tells a guy she's a stewardess in hopes of getting a date. Charlotte marries Trey MacDougal. Samantha sleeps with Trey's Scottish cousin, despite being unable to understand him.
- Don't Ask, Don't Tell is was a naïve military policy implemented by the Clinton Administration which allows The Gays to serve in the armed forces thanks to a devil's bargain: Service members will not be asked if they are gay, and gay service members will not reveal that they are gay. This is a horrible idea that liberals must.......what's that? we're getting word that the far left doesn't like this idea either. Does this mean that Clinton didn't institute a policy that pleases either side really but is somewhere in between?
- Don't Ask, Don't Tell is the 4th episode of Season 9 on FOX drama soap Beverly Hills, 90210.
- The "don't ask" part of the DADT policy specified that superiors should not initiate investigation of a servicemember's orientation without witnessing disallowed behaviors, though credible evidence of homosexual behavior could be used to initiate an investigation. Unauthorized investigations and harassment of suspected servicemen and women led to an expansion of the policy to "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue, don't harass".
- On September 12, 2010, Lady Gaga showed up at the MTV Video Music Awards with four special guests who were discharged from the force for their lifestyle. Gaga posted a video on her official YouTube channel on September 16, 2010, the video was a message from Gaga to the US Senate. The day after, "TheReal_JakeK" started a Twitition to help Gaga's goal of repealing the policy. “I’m here because ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell’ is wrong, it’s unjust and fundamentally it is against all that we stand for as Americans.”
- The DADT policy modified the gay ban clause added by House Armed Services Chairman Ron Dellums (D-CA) to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994. Dellum's addition was itself largely derived from Defense Directive 1332.14 Department of Defense Directive 1332.14, issued by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. The defense authorization bill with the gay ban language passed Congress mid-1993 and was signed by President Clinton later that year converting Reagan's gay ban policy into federal law.
