A bisexual navy veteran who was stripped of his medal and badges is suing to get them back
(CNN)A veteran who was dismissed from Britain’s Royal Navy because of his sexuality plans to sue the country’s defense ministry for the return of his medals, which were cut from his chest when he was expelled in 1993.
Joe Ousalice, now 68, said he was “hounded out” of the navy and made to feel “disgusting” for being bisexual, after serving for almost 18 years.
The British armed forces banned LGBT service members until 2000, when the European Court of Human Rights ruled that it was unlawful.
