Honoring LGBT Military Personnel at the Cathedral of Hope

This Sunday, May 27, SLDN advisory board member Paul Dodd, a retired Army chaplain (and one of The Advocate's magnificent seven), will deliver a special Memorial Day weekend address at The Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas.

The Cathedral of Hope is the world's largest LGBT church. Founded in 1987, the mission of the Cathedral is "to reclaim Christianity as a faith of extravagant grace, radical inclusion and relentless compassion." On Sunday, Paul will bring his powerful voice to the Cathedral with a sermon that highlights, in part, the service and sacrifice of America's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patriots. I was fortunate to preview the speech earlier this week, and it is an amazing tribute to those who serve our country.

If you cannot be in Dallas on Sunday, you can still watch Paul's sermon. Come back to Frontlines beginning around noon that day, and click here for a link to his presentation online. And join all of us at SLDN in thanking Colonel Dodd, and the 1 million+ other LGBT veterans in our country, for their service this Memorial Day weekend.
