California LGBTQ
Veterans Memorial
Americas first memorial honoring LGBTQ Veterans
Desert Memorial Park – Cathedral City, CA
Tom Swann Hernandez is celebrating his 30th Anniversary of his historic lawsuit against the Dept. of the Navy for gay discrimination.
He is honoring then Sec. of the Navy John Dalton. Please take a moment and read how the Navy changed their ways and affects YOU.
In 2018, the state passed California Assembly Bill 2439 designating the memorial as California’s official LGBTQ veterans memorial. In recognition, a second plaque was affixed to the monument.
