Motion text

That this House recognises the service and contribution of LGBTQ+ veterans; further recognises that prior to 2000, LGBTQ+ members of the armed forces were forced to serve in silence in fear of dismissal; notes the lasting impact of this discrimination on veterans and their families; also recognises the importance of education in preventing repetition of such injustices; and calls on the Government to introduce compulsory education and training within the armed forces to ensure that the experiences and treatment of LGBTQ+ veterans are properly understood, acknowledged, and embedded in institutional learning, alongside appropriate measures for ongoing recognition.
