Stephen Snyder-Hill Biography

Stephen Snyder-Hill is one of the most popular and richest Soldier who was born on October 21, 1970 in Upper Sandusky, United States. Stephen Snyder-Hill (born on October 21 in 1970) is an American soldier as well as a lecturer, author and LGBT rights activist who worked under the U.S. Army’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. He also opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in conjunction along with Freedom to Marry and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. He is the author of the novel Soldier of Change which covers the media craze that accompanied his activism as well as his experience as a gay soldier.

He began speaking out in the college of The Ohio State University. One student had written an article in the newspaper of the college, The Lantern Lantern Article. The letter thanked gay people for taking off from Columbus to take to the streets of Washington and claimed this was his first experience in which, he didn’t have to think about getting AIDS. This enraged Snyder-Hill, who for the first time publically wrote back to the student. Snyder-Hill added: “I have recently come out. I’m not different from you, but you’ll notice that I may be a bit different. I just came back from defending my nation during Operation Desert Storm. When I refer to defending my country I’m referring to defending all people regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. That’s all people, including you. From then on, Snyder-Hill realized he was on the responsibility to defend LGBT freedoms. He was an outcast during college and when he made the decision to rejoin the US Army Reserve in March 2001, things changed. He was forced to return to the closet

On September 22, 2011, at a Republican Party presidential debate in Orlando, Florida, before the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election, debate moderator Megyn Kelly directed to presidential hopeful Rick Santorum a question via a YouTube video message posed by Snyder-Hill, who was then serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq. Snyder-Hill asked whether the candidates’ presidencies would “circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military”. In asking this question, Snyder-Hill publicly came out of the closet only two days after the official end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Before Santorum responded, some audience members booed Snyder-Hill and then the audience loudly applauded Santorum when he said he would reinstate the ban on openly gay people serving in the military. The responses precipitated partisan reaction often chastising the audience, as well as Santorum and the other candidates, for remaining silent after the booing and not supporting the soldier.

Snyder-Hill’s story was featured on the front page of the LA Times on December 29, 2013. Reporter Christopher Goffard captured their story with the tagline, “America saw Stephen Hill’s face for 15 seconds. It took him a lifetime to show it.”

In 1995, Snyder-Hill went to in 1995 the Ohio State University (OSU) student health center. The doctor assigned to him was Dr. Richard Strauss, whom has claimed sexually assaulted him. He reported the incident in the school. He suggested that the university make changes to its policy and forms , and they made the suggestion known to the university. The university replied that they would alter their forms and will allow individuals to choose not to have discomforting body parts that were to be evaluated in future documents. Doctors were not disciplined or disqualified. In July of 2018, Steve saw on TV that a sexual assault case was taking place in Ohio State University. When Steve saw the face of the doctor immediately, he identified his name in the 90s. He contacted the doctor who had originally filed his complaint to be returned from the 1990s and realized that it is the exact same physician. The original complaint, as well as the OSU letter OSU was made public by WOSU in the year 2018. He initiated an action against OSU along with others in the year 2018.

That’s one thing I have told myself since Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed. The Army accepts me. I’m not going to lie anymore to anybody else.” They sought and were granted judicial relief from a court in Columbus, Ohio.
