Kelsey Loveless, from the National Army Museum, explores LGBTQ narratives within the British Army in a tour of the museum’s galleries.
This tour will highlight the stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and queer soldiers throughout the history of the British Army. It will further explore these individual stories within wider British legislation and army attitudes towards queer soldiers.
The modern British Army declares itself an equal opportunities employer. But becoming so has presented challenges for an institution deeply rooted in hierarchy, routine, regiment and tradition.
