LGBT+ People: Armed Forces
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department has taken with the Secretary of State for Defence to help tackle LGBTQ+ discrimination in the armed forces.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
The Government is committed to supporting LGBT personnel in the Armed Forces, including through engagement with our LGBT networks, same-sex marriages in military chapels and involvement with major Pride events.
We are also implementing all 49 of Lord Etherton’s recommendations to right the historic wrong of LGBT people being banned from service in the armed forces.
