25 years on from the lifting of the ban on homosexuality in the UK Armed Forces, this Special Report takes an in-depth look at the fight to be gay and serve your country.
We speak to the veterans who broke the law, fought for acceptance and changed history, as they share the impact of their careers being destroyed by Royal Military Police investigations.
Reporter James Wharton investigates the timeline of the often forgotten fight to change the law and speaks to former defence secretary Geoff Hoon, who was forced to lift the ban in January 2000 following a crucial judgement against the MOD by the European Courts of Human Rights.
