Tell Our Troops:
You Don't Have to Serve in Silence!

LGB troops to serve openly.

Straight Servicemembers or Veterans:
Make a video to say: "Gay doesn't matter to the mission—or to me."

Tell the story of your loved one's service.

LGBT personnel are NOT legally protected against discrimination and

Come OUT in support of LGBT troops still serving in silence.
