Gratitude to Those Who Serve.

As we reaffirm our commitment to community and unity, Kitsap Pride honors the bravery and resilience of our LGBTQIA+ veterans. Since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” we have seen a shift in visibility, and our pride in our service members has only grown. With gratitude, we recognize those who serve and have served, including those who have had to serve in silence.

This Veterans Day, we reflect on the courage of LGBTQIA+ veterans and active-duty members who embody the spirit of Stonewall and fight for freedom—even when it’s not fully extended to them. Your strength and dedication are inspiring, and your sacrifices defend a nation that has not always shown you the same freedoms.

As we look toward the future, we remain hopeful for a day when all who serve are celebrated for their full, authentic selves. Thank you for your service and for showing us the meaning of resilience and honor. No matter the challenges our community faces, we will stand together—resilient, determined, and proud.

With Pride,

Michael Goodnow
President, Kitsap Pride
