A new report has shone a light on the lifelong impact of the 'gay ban' in the Armed Forces.

The study carried out by Northumbria University, has found that many of the LGBT+ people who were dismissed from the military for their sexual orientation are suffering from long-term mental health problems.

LGBT+ military charity Fighting with Pride (FWP) says 86% of LGBT+ veterans felt dismissal for their sexual orientation or gender identity has affected their mental health.
