Gay-Veterans-Service-Members
Chuck Schoen, right, and life-long friend Jack Bickell pictured in a photo from the 1940s. In 1942, Schoen enlisted in the U. S. Navy, where he met his partner of 48 years, Jack Harris.
Scheon was discharged from the Navy after 19 years of service and eventually formed groups fighting for the rights of gay and lesbian veterans. Photo courtesy the Chuck Schoen Collection at the ONE Archives at the USC Libraries.
