Reluctant hero – Duncan Lustig-Prean on 20 years of gays in the military. January 12th marked the 20th anniversary of the lifting of the ban on homosexuality in our Armed Forces.
An integral figure in this struggle was Duncan Lustig-Prean who spoke to GScene about his experience. Dismissed as Naval Commander in 1995 for being gay under what the armed forces at the time called “unnatural conduct” Duncan went on to help Rank Outsiders campaigning for LGBT+ rights.
