OutServe the association of actively-serving LGBT military personnel will hold their second Annual OutServe International Leadership Conference at the Shades of Green Resort. Shades of Green is a military owned and operated resort located on Walt Disney World property in Orlando Florida.
The Leadership Conference is scheduled for 25 – 28 October 2012.
The Conference will welcome currently serving LGBT and straight military members, veterans, spouses/partners, and allies to join workshops and meetings. Last year’s conference which was held in Las Vegas boasted an attendance of 200 members. This year’s conference numbers are expected to double. Like the 2011 Conference, this year’s will provide an international forum on creating an environment of respect in the military with regards to sexual orientation and gender identity.
With more than 4,500 members and 45+ chapters worldwide, OutServe is one of the largest LGBT employee resource groups in the world. OutServe works to support a professional network of LGBT military personnel and create an environment of respect in the military with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity.
2011 OutServe Job Fair
With the ongoing veteran employment crisis, OutServe will also host a job fair during the event that will be open to veterans and employers.
Outserve publishes the bi-monthly OutServe Magazine which highlights the contributions that actively serving LGBTs are making to the United States military, discusses and educates readers about DADT repeal policies, and advocates for the continued fight for equality for all Americans.
A large LGBT presence, while new at Shades of Green is not new to Walt Disney World. The annual Orlando Gay Days event plans visits to Disney’s theme parks each year. This year’s Gay Days at Disney are scheduled for 31 May through 3 June 2012. The schedule for this year is Animal Kingdom 31 May, Hollywood Studios 1 June, Magic Kingdom 2 June, and Epcot 3 June.
