This House resolution encourages Americans to recognize a "National LGBTQ+ Servicemembers and Veterans Day." It celebrates the military service of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer servicemembers and veterans, and states regret for harm done under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," earlier policies, and bans on transgender service. It urges the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to end the transgender military ban, reach out to people discharged because of sexual orientation or gender identity so they can receive benefits, and restore and expand health care for transgender veterans, servicemembers, and their families, including gender-affirming care. The resolution does not create a law or require any agency to act.
