LGBTQ+ and Military Service Panel

Date: Nov 14, 2024 at 10:00am to 11:30pm
Hi Bros! Happy Veteran's Week! Since 1778, when Lieutenant Frederick Gotthold Enslin became the first service member dismissed from the military for homosexuality, persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender have faced discrimination in the military. Since the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," LGBTQ+ service members have been allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military, and federal benefits have been extended to cover their dependents. We will discuss how panelists’ LGBTQ+ identity intersects with their military/veteran identity and how that affected their service.
