President Joe Biden has pardoned military "Gay sex" convictions

[jag]

This is such a good decision by president Joe Biden, the USA has taken another lead in not making being gay a crime.



"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden pardoned potentially thousands of former U.S. service members convicted of violating a now-repealed military ban on consensual gay sex, saying Wednesday that he is “righting an historic wrong” to clear the way for them to regain lost benefits.

Biden’s action grants a pardon to service members who were convicted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice’s former Article 125, which criminalized sodomy. The law, which has been on the books since 1951, was rewritten in 2013 to prohibit only forcible acts.

Those covered by the pardon will be able to apply to receive proof that their conviction has been erased, petition to have their discharges from the military upgraded and move to recover lost pay and benefits. "

Singling out gay people was never right so the president did the right thing and needs credit for doing this.

Exactly leave gay people alone don’t politicize it for votes. Biden did the right thing on this one, credit where credit is due.

you ignet motherfuckers! right at election time! fuck you dummies!!!

So you think that US service members who were convicted of having consensual gay sex should NOT have their convictions quashed ????

Even though the law they were convicted under has long since been repealed ???

This was the right move whichever way you look at it and if you dont agree, then you are homophobic aswell as anti-semitic !
