In a historic move, President Joe Biden has issued a proclamation pardoning thousands of U.S. veterans convicted under a military law that banned gay sex, making them eligible for previously withheld benefits. This clemency action, announced early Wednesday, aims to correct an injustice faced by LGBTQI+ service members who were punished simply for their sexual orientation or gender identity. The ban, which lasted over six decades, was only amended in 2013 after the repeal of "don’t ask, don’t tell." Veterans who receive a pardon can now apply to change their discharge characterization and access necessary benefits. This decision underscores Biden's commitment to ensuring that every member of the military is treated with dignity and respect
