The Next Issue

A marine company commander talked about having everything – yet still wanting to end his own life … A Naval Academy graduate shared the universal story of love, loss, and trying to belong … and a heart-wrenching story detailed the gruesome, unfeeling acts of hatred directed at young Petty Officer Third Class Allen Schindler. Two issues, 44 pages, and over 20,000 views later, OutServe Magazine is about to release another groundbreaking issue, online and in print at several military installations and AAFES locations, coinciding with the September 20^th “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal date.

Less than thirty days from now, the age of LGBT discrimination in the military will officially be over! Our servicemembers will finally be able to serve openly, with integrity. And in celebration of one of our Nation’s historic moments, OutServe Magazine is publishing something very special – something that has not been done before in the entire history of our Nation’s military: almost a hundred actively serving military members are coming out in this next issue! After centuries of serving in the shadows, we are stepping forward and publicly expressing our commitment to our country and a commitment to our values of integrity, openness, and equality for everyone … page after page featuring pictures, bios and duty stations of the LGBT men and women who have finally been given a voice by their Nation.

Another exciting – and moving – feature for this upcoming issue is Proud to Serve: a portrait essay and multimedia piece featuring Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) American service members who served their country in silence or were discharged under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law.
