Rep. Adam Smith has been a steadfast advocate for LGBTQIA+ servicemembers and their families, and a valued partner.

We look forward to continuing our work together to ensure that every military family receives the dignity, recognition, and support it deserves.
In November, we recognize Military Family Appreciation Month, a time to commend the loved ones of our service members. While the men and women in uniform dedicate themselves to our country, their families also support our troops through their sacrifices and patriotism. Thank you for all the work you do.

Representative democracy is one of America’s greatest sources of strength.

When Americans see themselves reflected in their institutions, when our democracy demonstrates its capacity for renewal, we strengthen the credibility of the democratic values we champion around the world
LGBTQ elected officials and activists around the world have welcomed the U.S. midterm election results.

Tweets cannot erase the existence of Americans the Administration chooses not to recognize.

They can, however, make it harder to recruit, retain, and care for those who serve our country and keep it safe.

Discrimination is not a national security strategy.
It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.

Three openly LGBTQ+ Americans with careers in national service have been elected to Congress.

JoAnna Mendoza and Cait Conley served under “Don't Ask, Don't Tell.” Marni von Wilpert served in the Peace Corps.

A meaningful moment in American service and citizenship.

Replying to @OutInNatSec
Fifteen years ago, “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” ended.
Today, veterans who served under that policy are entering Congress openly LGBTQ+, alongside a fellow public servant whose path began in the Peace Corps.

At Out in National Security, we honor their service and this milestone.

As DAV Caregivers Support marks its third anniversary, it honors the veterans and caregivers who selflessly give of themselves to care for their loved ones. This no-cost program for caregivers of veterans and veterans who are caring for someone else helps ease the challenges they face. Personalized care plans and resources have assisted thousands of caregivers since the program’s launch.

We look forward to continuing this vital work.

Two new reports examine very different problems facing veterans: suicide and harassment at VA medical centers.

They share a basic question: Can VA see enough to know who it is reaching, where outcomes differ, and whether its systems are working?
