Exploring the intersection of the U.S. Military and the LGBTQ community

Did you know that the U.S. Military is one of the largest employers for members of the LGBTQ community in the U.S. today? During Pride Month, the Museum & Library is proud to present a panel discussion featuring military members in the LGBTQ community who will share their experiences, challenges and what policy changes have meant for their service.
