LONDON (Reuters) -King Charles will on Monday unveil a memorial dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender military personnel, marking his first official engagement in support of the LGBT community.
The government-funded "Open Letter" memorial is designed to honour those currently serving and commemorate veterans affected by the British military's ban on LGBT officers, which was lifted in 2000, 33 years after male homosexuality was partially decriminalised in England and Wales.
