VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE GAY & LESBIAN ASSOCIATION. For VMI cadets present and prospective, alumni and friends, especially: The Citadel, Texas A&M, West Point, Annapolis, Air Force and Coast Guard Academies, and ROTC. Due to Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which may apply to cadets who are commissioning or in reserve or national guard units, and for members who are on active duty with the US Armed Forces, this group is closely moderated.

The mission of this group is primarily to provide a line of communication and support for the VMI Gay & Lesbian community through on-line chat, messages, photo board and links. Primary focus is on gay & lesbian members of the Corps of Cadets through support by faculty, staff, alumni and friends during - and subsequent to their cadetship.

Membership in this group is open to VMI Cadets, graduates, prospective Cadets, former students, faculty & staff, individuals that have other VMI connections, and our straight allies.

Membership may be granted to those not directly related to VMI on a case by case basis. (Example: The Citadel, ROTC cadets, service academy cadets, service members - active duty/reserve/national guard, veterans, allies etc.)

Questions about our group and media inquiries should be emailed to the moderators at VMIGALA@GMAIL.COM

NOTE: Membership in this group does not imply a member’s sexual orientation. If you are a member of the U.S. military, or a member of the Corps of Cadets, please take appropriate caution to avoid violating the current "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

This group is not an official VMI Alumni Association club.
