Who We Are
The Modern Military Association of America (MMAA) is the nation’s largest organization of LGBTQ+ service members, military spouses, veterans, their families, and allies. Formed through the merger of the American Military Partner Association and OutServe-SLDN, we are a united voice for the LBGTQ+ military and veteran community.
Our Mission
MMAA is working to make a real difference in the lives of our modern military families through education, advocacy, and support.
Our Vision
MMAA is working to ensure LGBTQ service members, veterans and their families have the support and resources they need and deserve in service to our great country.
Our Work
Our staff, volunteers, and members have made incredible gains for the LGBTQ+ military and veteran community over the past three decades. But we cannot overlook the torrent of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and policies that are making our states less equitable and actively harming our communities. In 2022 and 2023 there have been record numbers of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation introduced in state legislatures; more than 200 in 2022 and 500 as of June 2023. These states are home to many of our military service members, their families, and veterans. As we work to uphold the civil rights progress made on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, we are working to:
- Educate elected officials on anti-LGBTQ+ laws’ negative impact
