There is and has been extensive engagement with Fighting with Pride at official and Ministerial level.
The LGBT Veterans Independent Review provided the opportunity for Defence and the Government to better understand the lived experience of LGBT veterans who served prior to 2000, including how being discharged or dismissed from the military due to their sexuality, affected their life.
Defence will continue to engage with Fighting with Pride and a number of other charities and independent veterans.
