We are a veterans' social group, and veterans' advocacy group. We assist active duty personnel whenever possible: with advice, legal referrals, personal support, and just plain comradeship.



The San Diego AVER Chapter participates in numerous events thoughout the year to include the County of San Diego Veterans Day parade each year.



AVER chapters fight anti-gay discrimination in the Armed Forces. We speak to student groups, church groups, other veteran organizations, the press, and other gay organizations.



AVER is a non-profit, chapter-based association of active, reserve and veteran servicemembers dedicated to full and equal rights and equitable treatment for all present and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces



Throughout our history, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and two-spirit Americans served in the Armed Forces. They took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies both foreign and domestic. We aver that it is the right of these Americans to express personal aspects of their lives, and, in particular, aspects of their sexual orientation and/or gender identification.
