The nation's oldest private military academy is holding its first gay pride week. WAMC's Tristan O'Neill reports...
Today, Norwich University in Northfield is starting six days of events.
The gay pride week comes six months after the end of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibited gay service members from serving openly in the military.
Norwich's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Allies Club held its first meeting in September within hours of the end of "don't ask, don't tell."
On Saturday, Governor Peter Shumlin is scheduled to speak prior to Norwich's Queer Prom.
Club President Joshua Fontanez, a senior from Browns River, N.J. who is to be commissioned as an infantry officer in May, says he's expecting many alumni to return to campus for the prom.
