HRES 1572: Encouraging the recognition of a "National LGBTQ+ Servicemembers and Veterans Day".

This House resolution encourages Americans to recognize National LGBTQ+ Servicemembers and Veterans Day on September 20, celebrating the contributions of these individuals while expressing regret for past discriminatory policies such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The bill specifically highlights how unjust discharges based on sexual orientation or gender identity have denied veterans earned benefits and caused lasting harm. It urges the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to implement policy changes that right these wrongs, including ending the current ban on transgender service members and conducting outreach to help affected veterans access their benefits. Additionally, the resolution calls for restoring and expanding access to non-discriminatory health care, such as gender-affirming treatments, for LGBTQ+ servicemembers and veterans.
