The Biden administration should address this IMMEDIATELY!
On June 26, President Biden made the bold pronouncement that he was "righting a historic wrong" by issuing pardons to LGBTQ persons who were pushed out of the military under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Unfortunately, however, the administration drew the qualification requirements so narrowly that few of the many thousands who were drummed out of the service will qualify. As this Mother Jones article explains, the pardons will only be issued to people who were "convicted in a military court of non-forced sodomy. But for years, most gay veterans simply resigned from the service rather than face the humiliation a military court martial.
This effort may have been well-intended, but it was very poorly thought out and executed, and in reality, goes nowhere near "righting the historic wrong" that was done to these folks!
