This House resolution states that the federal government discriminated against, fired, and excluded lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people from the military, the Foreign Service, and the federal civil service for decades. It would have the House acknowledge and condemn that treatment and, on behalf of the United States, apologize to affected service members, veterans, federal employees, and their families. It also condemns current efforts in the Armed Forces or federal agencies to discriminate against LGBT people and restates a commitment to equal treatment. The resolution says it does not support or settle any legal claim against the United States.
