Today we remember Leonard Matlovich, who died on this day in 1988.

A decorated Vietnam veteran, recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, and one of the first openly gay service members to challenge the military's ban on LGBTQ+ people, Matlovich became a national symbol for equality in the 1970s.

His fight wasn't just about keeping his job. It was about challenging the idea that someone could risk their life for their country and still be deemed unfit to serve because of who they loved.

He asked that his name be left off his tombstone so it could stand as a memorial to all LGBTQ+ veterans. Instead, it bears the words:

"When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one."

Thirty-seven years after his death, those words remain one of the most powerful indictments of discrimination ever etched into stone. 🌹 #🌹
