WASHINGTON D.C. – OutServe, the underground network of more than 2,900 LGBT military personnel, has announced the launch of a worldwide publication for gay military members.
OutServe magazine contains features about DADT repeal implementation and OutServe chapters, as well as other information of interest to currently-serving LGBT military members.
“Our first objective with the magazine is to let all the gay, lesbian, bi and trans members currently serving know that they are not alone,” said OutServe’s co-director, an active-duty officer who goes by the pseudonym JD Smith. “And we also want to communicate to all troops that there are capable gay military members serving honorably, and that accepting that and moving on will make our military stronger.”
“Our goal is to have our next version available in print, at some of the larger military bases,” he continued. “Visibility is key. We are not about highlighting our differences, but demonstrating how LGBT troops are proud soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coasties and Marines just like everyone else.”
OutServe is an underground network of actively serving members of the United States Armed Services who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. For more information, go to outserve.org.
