Thrown out of the Royal Navy for being gay, I took the UK to the European Court of Human Rights to challenge the decision and helped change the UK law in 2000 to allow gay people to serve in the military.
I use my story to inspire others to stand up as role models, allies, and to show one person can make a difference.
I was interviewed on BBC Breakfast on 20th July 2023 alongside Dame Kelly Holmes about the historic moment Prime Minister Rishi Sunak apologised on behalf of the state for the treatment of LGBT Veterans affected by the ban which remained in place until January 12th 2000.
