Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn Com to Kent State Universy | e-Insi e4-031918, e4 | In 1990, members of the very first Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn (NGPA) intified by a subtle airplane on their shirts, met discreetly Provcetown, Massachetts, to beg their fight for equaly. The members, and many others, were at risk of losg their jobs or beg dishonorably discharged if anyone found out they were gay durg that time. Now, 28years later, more than 4,000 lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) members worldwi, rangg om mercial pilots to mechanics, are openly supported by the Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn. This story and the anizatn’s missn is what spired Chris Olmstead, a senr aerontics major at Kent State Universy, to brg a stunt chapter of the anizatn to the Kent Camp. “In sprg 2017, I received two scholarships om the NGPA to assist me my flight trag at Kent State,” Mr. Olmsteadsays. “Ever sce, I’ve wanted to give back to the anizatn that helped me achieve my dreams.” Not every pilot is lucky to receive scholarships, but due to the Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn’s work over the last 25 years, more stunts now than ever are able to have the same experience as Mr. Olmstead. The missn of the Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn is to build, support and une the LGBT aviatn muny worldwi, and one way of dog that is through scholarships. After he received the scholarships, Mr. Olmstead began rearchg how to brg the anizatn to Kent State. “It’s been a lot of work to jump through the hoops of brgg the NGPA to mp,” Mr. Olmstead says. After reachg out to a iend at another universy wh an NGPA chapter, he ntacted Troy Merr, the chair for Universy and Flight School Chapters for the anizatn, and started workg closely wh Ken Dlevson, director of Kent State’s Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenrand Queer (LGBTQ) Stunt Center. Kent State’s chapter of the Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn will be the first reer-specific LGBTQ anizatn on mp. “It’s excg that we are not only startg to provi support for stunts this field, but also helpg Kent State’s ratg on the pri x,” Mr. Dlevson says. The Camp Pri Inx measur different universi across the natn on how clive and supportive of LGBTQ stunts, staff and faculty the mp muny is. Kent State’s LGBTQ Stunt Center works to support LGBTQ dividuals and crease the universy’s pri x ratg by promotg supportive clubs and anizatns for LGBTQ dividuals to feel wele. To support the Natnal Gay Pilots Associatn, the center offered to help promote the anizatn’s first meetg, which took place on Jan. 23, by sendg out fliers and rmatn to s email list. “My goal gog to this was to reach and generate tert wh as many people as possible,” Mr. Olmstead says. “Wh those attendance that night and the people who emailed me, I foree about 10 members to start out wh, which is very excg.” Mr. Olmstead hop the anizatn will build a strong, tight-kn muny that n offer a work of support to members and enurage LGBTQ stunts to feel fortable beg who they are wh their field of study.
