Knowledge and Understanding are the Key
Knowledge is a life-sustaining fuel. That’s the key message from the Eagle and Fledgling inscription, "Man’s Flight Through Life is Sustained by the Power of His Knowledge."
At Blue Alliance, we believe that increasing the knowledge and understanding of LGBT individuals will greatly help to reduce fear and prejudice and will also help to enable more dignity and respect.
We hope for a time when the military service of LGBT individuals is recognized without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. However, because that day is not yet here, military members of Blue Alliance may only participate anonymously. Because of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, they are prohibited from publicly or professionally acknowledging this fundamental aspect of their personal identity.
Your fellow Academy alumni, who are required to serve in silence, need your help to obtain more of the the dignity and respect they have earned by serving their country with honor. Please express your support for our cadets and our fellow grads by adding your name to the Straight Allies page which simply says:
We value dignity and respect
for all members of the USAFA community.
