'Do Ask, Do Tell' event helps LGBT vets

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- "Do Ask, Do Tell" is a first-of-its-kind event to raise awareness about services and jobs for Southern California veterans who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

The Los Angeles chapter of American Veterans for Equal Rights held the event, which serves as a resource fair for LGBT vets and all service members.

Organizers say many veterans just don't realize how many resources are available to them.
