Veterans: LGBT+ People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to include specific reference to LGBT veterans in the Veterans Strategy Action Plan.
Answered by Al Carns
This Government acknowledges the historic policy prohibiting homosexuality in the Armed Forces was regrettable, wrong and completely unacceptable. We are currently developing a new Veterans’ Strategy to be published later this year. It will be inclusive of the needs and experiences of all veterans, including the LGBT community.
