Join servicemembers, veterans, their families, and special guests from around the world to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) and to support the continuous fight for full inclusion for transgender and intersex servicemembers. Thanks to the repeal of DADT, over the past decade, lesbian, gay, and bisexual service members have served openly and proudly in the Armed Forces without fear of being dismissed because of who they are or whom they love.

Celebrate this virtual event with the leaders who led the fight for repeal in 2010. You’ll hear extraordinary stories from service members of all branches and learn more about the fight for the codification of transgender military service and the effort to lift the ban on service for intersex individuals and folks living with HIV.

Keynote Speaker: Honorable Patrick J. Murphy, U.S. Representative — PA (fmr.)

C. Dixon Osburn, Co-founder of Servicemember Legal Defense Network

Bree Fram, Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram & President of SPARTA

Jennifer Dane, Air Force veteran & CEO of the Modern Military Association of America
