Knights Out

Advice for Cadets

If you identify as a Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, or Bisexual Cadet, or think you might be, you are not alone. Many Knights Out members have been in your shoes, and we want to help you any way we can.

Knights Out is currently in the second phase of our mission: “to prepare West Point graduates and cadets to lead in a military where LGBT soldiers are allowed to serve openly.”

We are extremely proud of LGBT cadets. We want you all to do well. We want you all to do your very best. You are potentially positioned in this time of history to be the visible role models that we never had.

Cadet Membership in Knights Out

Cadet may now join as Out Knights!

LGBT Cadets can also join the Service Academy Gay & Lesbian Alumni Network (SAGALA) which is not a part of Knights Out, although most of the LGBT Knights Out members also belong to SAGALA.

The SAGALA mission is to provide a professional and social network for gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual cadets and alumni who attended one of the five federal service academies.
