![A black-and-white photograph in an oval frame shows a young white man in a sailor’s hat and uniform. The background of the poster is red. The man is identified as Airman Terry M. Helvey, b. 1972. Additional text reads, “Helvey stalked Schindler into a public toilet and beat him [to death] because he was a homosexual. N.Y. Times 5.27.93. The ban on gays in the military is profound discrimination and perpetuates violence. Bureau deplores all violence against gays and lesbians.”](https://www.cooperhewitt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/268576_ff95163f0d72422b_b.jpg)
