Our LGBT veterans are an important part of the defence community. Today @BWallaceMP apologised to those affected by historic LGBT Armed Forces policies. These policies do not reflect today’s military, and we are proud to be a military where everyone is welcome.

As of yesterday, 23 years have passed since the ban on LGBT+ people serving in the British Armed Forces was lifted. We think of all those affected, and those who fought so tirelessly to see it lifted. We are here whenever and for however you may need us. Thank you. #LGBTVeterans
