Fucking disgraceful I hope it costs the army millions. Blokes still risk the bullet or bomb. it doesn't matter if you like cock or not

Mentioned twice in PMQ's earlier and some were present in the chamber also.

Fantastic victory for them.

We hear about restitution all the time lately. Well pay these veterans up now!

It's not my cup of tea arse play, but anyone going to war deserves whatever medal the next man gets.

I have total respect to everyone who serves.

A great victory for them.

We should form a secret society!!.....

Just listened to Stephen Dixon on GB News about this. You could tell he wanted to say so much more. I wish he had done. Stephen is married to guy in the Army. He could say from the heart the effect this ridiculous "ruling" had on gay people in the forces.
He still cannot show a wedding picture of him and his husband because he would still face a problem within the army.

The former solider he was interviewing was told to resign his commission for being gay. APPALLING.

The people who join the army are braver men than me (with the exception of 1).
As long as they can run, shoot and fix things i dont care who they love.

The apology will help the survivors. But the suicide victims should never be forgotten.

That's great news for all Service people ,it's been a long time coming.I read about how shabbily the UK treated Alan Turing and he committed suicide after being chemically castrated by the state. After a lengthy campaign he was posthumously pardoned and as a result of this in 2017 the Alan Turing Law as it is informally known as retrospectively pardons people who where convicted of homosexual crimes years ago .At least we are moving forward.
