The LGBT Veterans Memorial, which will be located in the Historic Congressional Cemetery, will be near Leonard Matlovich's grave in what's known as the "gay corner" of the cemetery.
Matlovich, who died in 1988, was a serviceman who came out on the cover of Time Magazine in 1975. On the magazine's cover, Matlovich was pictured wearing his Air Force uniform with the headline "I am a homosexual," in large print. He was immediately discharged from service.
