Despite repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy in 2011, and the transgender ban in 2016, it is unknown whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) service members choose to disclose their sexual orientation and gender identity to their military colleagues, or if they perceive an LGBT-supportive climate in the military workplace. This study used data collected through the Military Acceptance Project, a Department of Defense-funded mixed methods research study conducted from 2016 to 2018. A sample of 248 LGBT and 296 non-LGBT active duty service members completed a survey while a sample of 42 active duty LGBT service members completed an in-depth interview. Thematic analyses and quantitative statistical analyses were used to provide 1) a first-of-its-kind qualitative inquiry of LGBT disclosure decision-making; 2) demographic and military-related traits associated with disclosure and outness to various military entities such as unit leaders and chaplains; 3) a comparison of perceived unit cohesion, social support, and LGBT workplace climate by sexual orientation and gender identity, and their associations with outness in the military workplace. Results found that half of interview participants feared that the military environment, at both the institutional and interpersonal level, was not yet LGBT inclusive. However, most participants employed outness in the military as a means of authenticating themselves to others and benefiting other LGBT service members. Quantitative analyses found that outness to fellow service members varied greatly, with the lowest outness to chaplains (38%) and the highest outness to other LGBT unit friends (93%). Three fourths of the sample were out to unit leaders, medical providers, and counselors. Officers, those with a Bachelors degree or above, single service members, and bisexuals had lower odds of being out to fellow service members compared to enlisted personnel, those with some college or less, partnered servicemembers, lesbians and gays. Almost all transgender service members were out to fellow service members. This study also found that LGBT service members perceived significantly lower unit cohesion and social support than non-LGBT service members. A more affirming perceived LGBT workplace climate was associated with greater odds of outness to unit leaders and friends. Findings suggest that most LGBT service members perceive that the military workplace is a safe space to disclose one's LGBT identity, however some barriers to disclosure remain. Findings indicate that military leaders, medical providers, counselors, and chaplains hold significant responsibility in fostering an explicitly accepting climate for LGBT service members. Reinstatement of the ban on transgender service members in 2019 will likely complicate this group's disclosure decision-making and may impact cisgender LGB service members' disclosure decisions going forward.
