THE LAVENDER NAMES PROJECT 💜

San Diego local Thomas T. Carpenter, Esq. will be joining us in the audience at tonight’s closing performance of Fellow Travelers. A Marine Corps Captain and A‑4 Skyhawk pilot, he served from 1970–1976 and in the Reserves until 1982 while forced to conceal his sexual orientation.

More than twenty years later, he helped lead the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” drafting influential white papers, volunteering countless hours, and collaborating with 70 veterans on the implementation plan that shaped the 2010 repeal. He co‑chaired the Forum on the Military Chaplaincy, served on the board of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), helped found OutServe in 2010, and supported its merger with SLDN in 2012.

A Naval Academy and Golden Gate Law graduate, he’s received multiple awards, including OutServe‑SLDN’s Anna S. Curren Service Award. He credits his husband, Art Andrade, for steadfast support. Tom retired and moved to San Diego in 2015.
