Imagine being forced to conceal who you truly are. Risking your life for your country as a member of the Air Force. Earning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Being dishonorably discharged for coming out. Sergeant Leonard Matlovich used this opportunity to make the armed forces more inclusive, changing the course of gay rights for those in service.  

Learn more about path-making LGBTQ+ Americans such as Laverne Cox, the first trans person to ever receive an Emmy nomination; Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay senator in U.S. history; Christine Jorgensen, who humanized the gender struggles of other Americans and more. 

Watch LGBTQ+ Pride Month videos and celebrate the differences that make our country great. Through their courage, these individuals have encouraged others to be their authentic selves.
