The Modern Military Association of America (MMAA) is the nation’s largest organization of LGBTQ+ service members, military spouses, veterans, their families, and allies. Formed through the merger of the American Military Partner Association and OutServe-SLDN, we are a united voice for the LBGTQ+ military and veteran community.
As a non-partisan, non-profit (501c3) organization, we are working to make a real difference in the lives of our modern military families through education, advocacy, and support. We also provide free, direct legal services for the LGBTQ+ and HIV+ military and veteran communities.
The LGBTQ+ Veteran Coordinator serves a role similar to other veteran service officers, connecting LGBTQ+ veterans to federal and state benefits, such as VA health care, disability compensation, and pension, houselessness resources, and more. ODVA's LGBTQ+ Veteran Office is here to serve and support those interested in learning about and accessing veteran benefits in Oregon. Additionally, this office can assist with discharge upgrades and military record corrections as well.
The LGBTQ+ Veteran Coordinator office works to build a strong community of and for LGBTQ+ veterans in Oregon, while also helping shape Oregon laws for the LGBTQ+ and veteran communities through advocacy and direct recommendations to the Legislature.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) welcomes all Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivor beneficiaries, including diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. “LGBTQ+” refers to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identities. The “+” sign captures identities beyond LGBTQ, including but not limited to questioning, pansexual, asexual, agender, gender diverse, nonbinary, gender-neutral, and other identities. LGBTQ+ Veterans have faced stigma and discrimination, which can affect health.
