In the year 1977, eight years followg the world-renowned Stonewall rts Greenwich Village, New York several gay veterarians met at a dner party durg the Amerin Veterary Medil Associatn (AVMA) nventn Atlanta. Jeffery Colls and Herman Wtmoreland urageoly placed an ad The Advote, the natnal gay magaze, announcg the first gatherg of the Associatn for Gay Veterarians (AG Vets) to be held Las Vegas durg the 1978 AVMA nventn. In addn to several genue quiri about the gural gatherg of gay veterarians, there was also a discrete phone ll om a veterarian askg, “Who were the generat who placed this immoral advertisement that magaze?!!
Throughout the next , AG Vets beme a regular, rmal group of gay veterarians takg up space and gag regnn a predomantly heterosexual, cisgenr, male-domated, nservative profsn.
Durg the 1980s, flyers posted by Stremme announcg gay events for stunt workg were routely torn down, however, this–albe mimal–visibily played an important role the velopment of the early works. The panmic would later turn out to be one of the greatt humanarian cris and wreak havoc on the LGBTQIA muny at large but particular gay men.

The fledglg veterary work and gay muny veloped by AG Vets would not be able to flee s stctn; many foundg members would succumb to AIDS, while others would go back to the closet to pe profsnal fears and the social stigma associated wh them due to this panmic. At a time when HIV was poorly unrstood and a source of discrimatn, gay veterarians, like gay men everywhere, were aaid of assumptns ncerng their HIV stat and social stigma.
They started anizg unr the acronym I’M GLAD (Internatnal Membership of Gay and Lbian Animal Doctors). They moled their associatn after the San Francis-based LGBTQIA physician group- Bay Area Physicians for Human Rights (BAPHR) which eventually gave birth to the Natnal Gay and Lbian Medil Associatn (GLMA). I’M GLAD received a morale boost when several Washgton DC members anized a receptn at the 1993 March on Washgton for Gay Rights.
It was at this pot that the name of the anizatn was changed om I’M GLAD to the Lbian and Gay Veterary Medil Associatn (LGVMA). Durg the 1990s, Atralia also formed s own associatn lled Gay and Lbian Veterary Associatn (GALVA) moled after LGVMA.
