'They sent me to prison for 6 months... I left with no references, no money, nothing.'
Ex-RAF officer Steve Purves was jailed for 6 months over his relationship with a male colleague.
Homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK in 1967 but a ban continued in the armed forces until 2000.

LGBT veterans awarded a special badge to mark the injustice they faced say they will refuse to wear it until the government pays them compensation.

After a busy day of national and regional media for our team and veterans, Im back in Parliament this evening rallying support to get fair compensation delivered. It’s time for the Government to get around the table - now!
Delighted to catch up today with one of the military communities strongest advocates @JGray Chair of the Armed Forces All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster.

Such a humbling experience. Fabulous delegates and networking. Thank you for looking after us last night @CraigJonesMBE @caz_paige 🥰 Loved meeting the FWP team 😊
A fantastic day at the @fightingwpride Scotland conference and launch of the Pride in Veterans Standard!
@GillMcGill2 and @AlisonKOsborne were there to present their research on the experiences of #LGBTVeterans who served during the ban.

The conference also saw the launch of a new report led by @GillMcGill2 and @AlisonKOsborne from @Northern_Hub, commissioned by @fightingwpride. The report details initial findings to provide an evidence-base for the development of support for the #LGBTVeterans community. 🧵4/4

Really fascinating update from fellow #VAPC member @CraigJonesMBE about @fightingwpride.
LGBT+ Veterans are lucky to have such a passionate campaigner who will fight to right the wrongs of the ban on LGBT+ personnel serving in the Armed Forces prior to 2000 #fwp – at London, England
Thank you @NurseDiane2020 you are an inspiration and a brilliant supporter of @fightingwpride
