Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Veterans of America, Inc.
GLBVA members from across the country converged on Corpus Christi, Texas
for a weekend of networking, educational seminars, speeches, planning
sessions and the election of national officers. And for the first time in
history a gay, lesbian and bisexual veterans service organization used the
facilities aboard a U.S. Naval vessel for their plenary session.
The Officers Ward Room aboard the USS Lexington , a World War II aircraft
carrier, was decked out in the finest of military tradition with the
American flag, the rainbow flag, several military banners and the flags of
all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Members were served a meal from a
traditional "chow-line", listened to speeches from the
organization's leaders and then began the nominating process which would
culminate in the election of the officers who will govern the organization
for the next two years. Results of the election are as follows:
