Possibly some good news for those ex service LBGT members

LGBT veterans have cautiously welcomed a review into the impact of a ban on them serving in the military, which has been launched more than 20 years after the law was changed.
Until 2000 it was illegal to be gay in the British military - a rule that's thought to have affected about 5,000 people in the armed forces.
The review will look at what could be done now to help support those people.
Campaigners hope the review's outcome will entitle them to compensation.
The veterans hope to be offered mental health support, financial compensation, and the restoration of pensions that were taken away for those who underwent dishonourable discharge.
one thing I didn’t know and it amazes me is..
David Bonney served four months in a military prison in Colchester in 1995 after being convicted of "homosexual conduct" while working for the RAF as a medic.
Although he was later freed on appeal, the conviction is still on his criminal record. He says it's had a long-lasting impact on his life.
"From the moment I admitted to [being gay], I was held in a cell separate to everyone," he tells BBC News.
"Handcuffs, going into a cell, treated as if I'd murdered or mugged someone."
