I’ve done a lot with my life since being expelled from the RAF 23 years ago for being gay, but I can still remember that day as if it was yesterday.
Just three years after I was kicked out, the Ministry of Defence lifted their ban on LGBT personnel serving in the armed forces.
However, two decades on, we’re still seeing the government apologise for their archaic policy, after it recently emerged that catholic priests had broken trusts and outed gay and lesbian soldiers in the 1990s.
