LGBTQ+ Veterans often face unique challenges when it comes to being understood, accepted, supported, and celebrated by the communities and systems around them, particularly within military and veteran spaces. When LGBTQ+ veterans are embraced with support and affirmation for who they are, the impact can be transformative and even lifesaving.

It’s why safe spaces, like Out & Equal’s LGBTQ+ Veterans CEG, where individuals of like-identities can connect, share stories, and open up about their unique challenges and experiences are critically important.

Please join us in community for open dialogue where individuals will feel seen and validated.
