Despite the challenges endured because of their sexuality, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Alumni of the US Naval Academy remain strongly bonded to the institution that developed their characters as leaders in command, citizenship and government. Of over 200 known gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender US Naval Academy Alumni, more than 120 have “come out” as the LGBT alumni of the US Naval Academy. Many other LGBT alumni remain “in the closet,” serving in silence while on active duty in the service of their country as officers in the US Navy and US Marine Corps. This film will explore the lives of many of these alumni, how the US Naval Academy shaped their character, their enduring strong bond to the Academy and share their experiences while at Annapolis and while serving in the naval service as an LGBT officer, both pre- and post- Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell.
