SF Main Library, Koret Auditorium, 100 Larkin Street, SF, CA

The event is free and open to the public.

This Public Conversation, How Far We’ve Come: LGBTQ Veterans & the Military is part of War Comes Home, a statewide conversation about veterans returning to California. As the long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wind down, how will returning soldiers come back into their communities?

What do we owe to those whom our country has sent into harm’s way? How can we build bridges of understanding between those who have served and those who have not? Through more than 800 lectures, forums, film screenings, discussion groups, exhibits, and a statewide reading program, Californians will consider these questions and more.
