Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people have served in every theatre of war, across all eras, and in all areas of Australia’s armed forces. Motivated to enlist for the same sense of patriotism and commitment as others, they have proudly served, even though for decades, they could not be open about their sexuality or gender identity for fear of losing the career and life they loved. Listen to stories of service from LGBTQ+ veterans and service people.
