Description of Artwork: "Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story" is a television drama based on the true-life of Col. Cammermeyer's discharge from the army because of her lesbianism.

The Incident: A scene in the movie depicts a kiss between the lesbian couple of Magarethe Cammermeyer and her lover. The television station WAFF-TV omitted the kiss scene, which they deemed too controversial to air on television.

Results of Incident: Despite a Huntsville resident calling the station to complain, the program director refused to comment on the issue. Sadly, the people of Huntsville have still not seen the scene.
