Do Ask, Do Tell: A Gay Conservative Lashes Back - Individualism, Identity, Personal Rights, Responsibility and Community in a Libertarian Third Millennium

Consolidated footnote files (electronic book style) for each chapter are now available, linked from each chapter, to include new material since original 1997 publication. The file names are wchap1 thru wchap6 and are linked from the files xchap1 thru xchap6 respectively (as given below).The consolidated footnotes for any chapter may be toggled with the chapter with forward and back buttons in a browser.

Page numbers are as in the commercial edition (350 pages, 6-1/2 x 9). Readers with the slightly longer manuscript edition (254 pages 8-1/2 x 11) can locate the physical pages by relationship to the footnote numbers. All text in the manuscript edition is included here. Consolidated footnotes can be correlated to the individual chapters.

The Chapters 1 through 6 on doaskdotell.com/content (below) now have direct html links to all internal footnotes as original published.

In the following table of contents, the first number is the page number of the 350-page commercial edition; the second is the 254-page manuscript addition (which has slightly more text).The third number, in brackets, refers to the 2000 iUniverse printing, which has larger type.

It is recommended that newer browsers be used (IE 5.0 or Netscape 4.6). Older browsers may not present all special characters correctly. For example, the em dash may be printed as a 3/4 in Netscape 3.0.

Direct links to consolidated footnote files:Chapter 1 2 3 4 5 6

The same references exist on hometown.aol.com/JBFreedom/xhcap1 thru xchap6. On those versions the following description applies:

Note: Most of these files (except the Introduction and Appendix) have footnotes. Footnotes appear at the end of each file and are separately accessible through HTML tags. Footnote numbers appear as integers in the text with no space in front. (e.g. "Boushka1" would refer to Footnote 1.) HPPUB plans to improve the footnoting mechanism in the online publications in the future. Footnotes added since 1997 may be browsed from "moorefoot.htm" (see link). You can toggle three files at the same time by bookmarking the original chapter and footnotes (xchap4.htm, xchap4.htm#footnotes, morefoot.htm#chap4) and using (in Netscape and IE advanced) back and forward markers.
