LGBTQ and Indigenous Focus Groups Hope to Influence Air Force Policy

The leaders of two Air Force and Space Force groups — one focused on issues related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer, or LGBTQ, troops; the other on indigenous service members — want to see improvements begin at the top, they say.

The push for change shouldn’t have to start at the lower echelons, according to Maj. Gen. Leah Lauderback, head of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning Initiative Team, or LIT; and Col. Terrence Adams, head of the Indigenous Nations Equality Tea, or INET.

“If we want this to succeed, it requires that leadership … first and foremost be part of the process,” said Lauderback, the director of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for the U.S. Space Force, during a roundtable interview Wednesday.

Last month, the service announced that LIT and INET had formed earlier this year to better analyze issues impacting diversity, career limitations and retention of these service members. The groups hope airmen will come forward to describe barriers they’ve encountered in the service.
