Biden pardons potentially thousands of ex-service members convicted under now-repealed gay sex ban

President Joe Biden pardoned potentially thousands of former U.S. service members convicted of violating a now-repealed military ban on consensual gay sex, saying Wednesday that he is “righting an historic wrong" to clear the way for them to regain lost benefits.
Biden's action grants a pardon to service members who were convicted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice's former Article 125, which criminalized sodomy. The law, which has been on the books since 1951, was rewritten in 2013 to prohibit only forcible acts.

Good. End the discrimination! The law applied to gay and straight people, so the news reader and headline is misleading! However, only LGBT folks were drummed out of the service because of it. There's your story!

So, they can be drafted and sent to the front lines instead of sitting safe behind a desk?

Your mocking veterans who volunteered for duty? Aren't you a peach! Maybe they should send you instead?
