This resolution serves to acknowledge and condemn the extensive historical discrimination and mistreatment faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service. It specifically apologizes on behalf of the United States to these affected servicemembers, veterans, Foreign Service members, federal civil service employees, and their families for the harm caused by anti-LGBT policies. The resolution details a history of discriminatory practices, including the 1949 Department of Defense decree mandating separation of homosexual personnel, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, and the "Lavender Scare" which led to the termination of thousands of LGBT civilian employees. It references Executive Order 10450, which defined "perversion" as a security threat, and notes how federal agencies continued to harass and exclude LGBT individuals despite court rulings. Furthermore, the resolution highlights recent actions, including Executive Orders in 2025 that rescinded protections for LGBT federal employees and contractors and implemented a ban on transgender military service. It condemns any and all current or future efforts within the Armed Forces or any Federal agency to discriminate against LGBT individuals or undermine their dignity and respect. Ultimately, the resolution reaffirms the Federal Government's commitment to honor its obligation to treat all military service members, Foreign Service members, veterans, and Federal civil service employees and retirees, including LGBT individuals, with equal respect and fairness. It includes a disclaimer clarifying that the resolution does not authorize or support any claims against the United States.
