Tom Carpenter: Passing the Torch to a New Generation of LGBT Warriors
By Tom Carpenter, Member, SLDN Board of Directors
For me, one of the most moving parts of the first ever OutServe Armed Forces Leadership Summit held in Las Vegas from last weekend (Oct. 14-16) was when fellow Naval Academy graduate, Zoe Dunning and I were awarded lifetime membership in OutServe. We were both humbled by this recognition and kindness.
I am sure many in the audience knew Zoe and I were long time members and co-chairs of the Board of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN). They were probably wondering why we, of all the OutServe supporters at the conference, were being singled out and honored in this way.
