Abstract
LAY SUMMARY This article uses the current body of research to explore the need for military family research that deliberately includes LGBTQIA2S+ military families. Much of the existing research intentionally or unintentionally excludes these families, and this exclusion could result in the creation of programs, support services, and policies that do not consider or meet their unique needs. To ensure these diverse voices are heard, more intentional inclusion of LGBTQIA2S+ families in Canadian military research is needed to support their service to the country.
