Out of Annapolis

A Detailed Study and Documentary Film about LGBT Alumni of the US Naval Academy



The quicktime trailer will start as soon sufficient data have downloaded. You may also view a previous version of the trailer on YouTube.


The "Out of Annapolis Study" which accompanies the documentary film about the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered alumni of the US Naval Academy, often the "uncounted losses" to the officer corps of the US Navy and US Marine Corps, is still underway.

Of over 300 known gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender US Naval Academy Alumni, more than 145 have come “Out of Annapolis” as the LGBT alumni of the US Naval Academy. Many other LGBT alumni remain "in the closet," serving in silence while on active duty in the service of their country as officers in the US Navy and US Marine Corps.

This film explores the lives of many of these alumni, how the US Naval Academy shaped their character, their enduring strong bond to the Academy and share their experiences while at Annapolis and while serving in the naval service as an LGBT officer, both pre- and post- Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell.
