'Second Skin' Video Highlights Ongoing Discrimination Against Gay And Lesbian Soldiers

WATCH: What Makes A Gay Soldier Different From A Straight Soldier?

A poignant new video which aims to draw attention to how gay and lesbian soldiers continue to face discrimination even after the repeal of " Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is making the blogosphere rounds.

Titled "Second Skin," the clip honors "all who have served our nation so honorably; but we reserve a special remembrance for all those who have provided the same service, taken the same risks, and made the same sacrifices to keep us safe, yet are treated as second-class citizens by the country they are sworn to protect," according to veteran and OutServe-SLDN executive director Allyson Robinson.

More specifically, "Second Skin" -- which was produced by Freedom to Marry and OutServe-SLDN -- hopes to show how LGBT soldiers are treated differently because of the Defense of Marriage Act.
