24 years ago today, after years of campaigning and court cases, the ban on lesbian, gay & bisexual personnel serving in Britain’s Armed Forces was lifted and the Service Test introduced. Most personnel have only known the forces after the ban. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_polit…
ALT Screenshot of the BBC news report “Services gay ban lifted” from 12 January 2000.
Today marks 24 years since the lifting of the ban which prohibited LGBT people serving in the UK Armed Forces
Today, LGBT Veterans can apply for restorative measures.
