description: "Allen R. Schindler Jr. was an American radioman petty officer third class in the United States Navy who was murdered for being gay. He was killed in a public toilet in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan, by Terry M. Helvey, who acted with the aid of an accomplice, Charles E. Vins, in what Esquire called a \"brutal murder\". The case became synonymous with the debate concerning LGBT members of the military that had been brewing in the United States, culminating in the \"Don't ask, don't tell\" policy."
