Take Action
Now that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has been repealed, our work can begin.
We are currently working with West Point to help form new training and policies that will allow gays and lesbians to serve openly and with pride in our military.
With your help we are creating a support network and safe space for LGBT West Point candidates, cadets, active duty graduates, and veterans.
Donate to Knights Out
Donating to Knights Out helps support our efforts to (1) maintain and update our website; (2) send spokespeople to events where we can educate and motivate the public about our issues; (3) support Knights Out participation in major events like San Francisco Pride and the Washington, DC, March for Equality, where major media cover our story and build awareness for our cause; (4) participate in working groups that are forming new LGBT policies that directly affect active duty personnel.
Make a statement – and influence others.
You can help educate and motivate others to be part of this movement.
Join Knights Out at events
When people see Knights Out in force at events like San Francisco Pride and the Washington, DC, March for Equality, it draws attention to the reality that gays and lesbians have served our country honorably, and motivates them to fight DADT. Join us to help make that point more strongly.
Watch the Knights Out front page for information on the upcoming March for Equality in Washington, DC, and other events.

LGBT Veteran’s Day Reception: A Celebration of Service
Friday, November 11 2011 : 6:00pm – 8:30pm (208 W 13th St, New York, NY)
Join us for A Celebration of Service, an LGBT Veteran’s Day Reception, an evening event recognizing the first Veterans Day in which lesbian, gay and bisexual servicemembers can serve openly and proudly in the United States. It will highlight the journey traveled by our community which led to the eventual and groundbreaking repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. It will showcase individuals and their stories – servicemembers, partners, and families, all of whom have something to celebrate and commemorate for this momentous occasion.
Veterans Day is an American holiday that honors America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. This Veterans Day, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center will celebrate the end of “DADT” and openly honor our LGBT Veterans and Servicemembers. The Center warmly welcomes all members of the community to celebrate this holiday with us and take part in this special event.
The Center is proud to co-sponsor this event with American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA), OutServe, Knights Out, Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN), and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN).
