THE MISSION Representing the U.S. LGBTQ military community worldwide.

FREEDOM TO SERVE: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO LGBTQ MILITARY SERVICE i A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEGAL & POLICY DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Here at OutServe-SLDN, we are committed to the idea that all capable individuals willing to selflessly serve our nation deserve to do so honorably, openly, and authentically. Since 1993, we have proudly dedicated our services and programming to defend LGBTQ servicemembers and veterans that have and continue to serve us. This much-anticipated, second installment of the Freedom to Serve guide pulls its name from our organization’s vision. This booklet was first released at the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” providing immediate guidance as lesbian, gay, and bisexual members began serving openly without fear of separation. Since our first installment, the Defense of Marriage Act has been repealed, prompting the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to finally recognize our spouses in ways their heterosexual counterparts always have been. This edition of the publication provides additional information on some of the more nuanced changes that have come to pass in the last six years. While we have seen great progress in equitable justice, representation, and support for portions of our community, we continue to work tirelessly to ensure our transgender siblings are afforded those same essential liberties. Much of the information in this guide will prove to be helpful to transgender servicemembers, veterans, and hopeful recruits. We will continue to push out additional guidance as we can and would be happy to speak with any transgender servicemembers about any specific issues they are facing. This publication is intended to be a general resource for you and your loved ones while you navigate military service as a member of the LGBTQ community. But every case is different; in this publication, it is impossible for us to provide particularized advice for every scenario you might encounter. We encourage you to reach out to our legal staff for any specific guidance you may need. Our services have always been, and will continue to be, completely free to you and your families. Thank you for your commitment to this country, we look forward to continuing to advocate for you. Yours in Service, Peter E.

The name has been synonymous with Chicago for decades, during the 21 years Richard J. served as mayor, and during the 21 years his son, Richard M., has been the leader of the city. The Daley era, however, is set to end May 16, 2011, when a new mayor is crowned, and Daley retires. At that point, Daley will have served the city 22 years and 22 days, while his father made it to 21 years and eight HOWARD BROWN months. Daley sat down recently with Windy City Times to discuss his MOVING AHEAD relationship to the city’s LGBT community. Daley’s bold and brash style has angered some, pleased others, and PAGE 6 overall helped lead Chicago out of the Council Wars of the 1980s and into a more civil city of the 1990s and 2000s. But not all has been perfect, with critics upset over his handling of education, crime, police brutality and, especially in recent years, the selling off of valuable city assets, such as parking meters, and using those revenues for short-term gain.

The rapid communication facilitated by the internet also allowed for the formation of larger, more widespread trans communities.

    ** This petition was submitted to the Georgetown administration. For next steps, follow @hyasforchoice on Instagram. ** January 22nd, 2021 Georgetown University 3700 O Street NW Washington, DC 20057 Dear President John J. DeGioia, Provost Robert Groves, Senior Vice President Geoffrey Chatas, Vice President Todd Olson, Vice President Rosemary E. Kilkenny, and other members of the Georgetown Administration: **Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Violence, etc.** On January 30th, 2021, Georgetown will host its 22nd Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life (COCC), the largest student-run anti-abortion conference in the United States. Although Georgetown seeks to promote racial justice, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ rights, its active support of this conference demonstrates that the university is falling woefully short of its own ideals. Year after year, this conference glorifies Cardinal O’Connor – an infamous homophobe and misogynist – and provides a platform for extremely racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ speakers to indoctrinate hundreds of impressionable teenagers with their hateful ideologies. The fact that Georgetown continues to host COCC demonstrates its lack of regard for marginalized students and their interests. As a Jesuit university that supposedly values “academic excellence,” “cura personalis,” “faith that does justice,” and “community in diversity,” Georgetown must publicly condemn the speakers of this conference and force student organizers to permanently change the conference’s name. Who is Cardinal O’Connor? This conference is named after Cardinal John J. O’Connor. As Archbishop of New York, he has a long history of disgraceful and harmful statements and advocations. He used his position to restrict access to reproductive and sexual healthcare and further perpetuated homophobia within the church.

    23 de julio, 2019 Al Honorable Michael Pompeo Secretario de Estado Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos Washington, D.C. 20520 Estimado secretario Pompeo: Nosotros, los abajo firmantes, organizaciones de derechos humanos, por las libertades civiles y la justicia social, líderes religiosos, expertos, académicos y organizaciones, nos dirigimos a usted para expresar nuestra profunda preocupación por la Comisión de Derechos Inalienables del Departamento de Estado, cuya creación fue anunciada recientemente. Objetamos el propósito declarado de dicha Comisión, al que consideramos perjudicial para el esfuerzo global por proteger los derechos de todas las personas, así como un derroche de recursos. Objetamos la composición de la Comisión, que carece de diversidad ideológica y parece reflejar un claro interés por limitar los derechos humanos, incluidos los derechos de las mujeres y de las personas LGBTIQ. Objetamos también el proceso por el cual la Comisión entró en vigor y está siendo administrada, ya que ha dejado de lado a expertos en derechos humanos de la propia Oficina de Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Trabajo (DRL) del Departamento de Estado. Lo instamos a que disuelva inmediatamente este cuerpo y centre su atención personal en los importantes desafíos que enfrenta actualmente la protección de los derechos humanos a nivel mundial. Como usted dijo al presentar la Comisión y al afirmar la importancia de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos (DUDH) de 1948, “el lenguaje de los derechos humanos es el lenguaje propio con el que se habla sobre libertad y dignidad humana en todo el mundo, y estos son logros realmente extraordinarios”. La DUDH declara en sus primeras líneas que el reconocimiento de los derechos iguales e inalienables “de todos los miembros de la familia humana” constituyen “la base de la libertad, la justicia y la paz”.
