  • Mission

    OutServe-SLDN represents the U.S. LGBTQ and HIV+ service member, veteran, and military family communities worldwide. Our mission is to: educate the community, provide legal services, advocate for authentic transgender service, provide developmental opportunities, support members and local chapters, communicate effectively, and work towards equality for all.

    About Us

    OutServe-SLDN (OS-SLDN) is the largest association for LGBTQ and HIV+ actively serving, veteran, and military family communities. We are a non-partisan, non-profit, legal services, watchdog and policy organization dedicated to bringing about full LGBTQ equality to America’s military and ending all forms of discrimination and harassment of military personnel on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. OS-SLDN provides free and direct legal assistance to service members and veterans affected by the repealed "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" law and the prior regulatory ban on open service, as well as those currently serving who may experience harassment or discrimination. Since 1993, our in-house legal team has responded to more than 12,000 requests for assistance.
