Do Ask, Do Tell: LGBTQ+ History at Sea

Step aboard US Coast Guard Cutter 37 for a special Pride Month event with a comprehensive retelling of LGBTQ+ history at sea, paired with a tour of this historic Coast Guard cutter.

How did LGBTQ+ service members navigate secrecy, identity, and military regulations? What changed when “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” became national policy? From maritime floggings to the modern era and beyond, see where the sailors lived and worked, and discover a part of history that is too often overlooked.

Join us as we honor the voices, experiences, and legacies that have gone unheard.
