UNITED KINGDOM — (04-10-24) — LGBT navy veteran, Emma Riley, was named Hero of the Year at the British Diversity Awards for her work to get a rule banning gay people from the navy overturned by taking the UK to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Emma Riley, who lives in Brighton, was a Royal Navy radio operator for three years before her arrest and discharge from the Royal Navy for telling a colleague about her sexuality back in the early 1990s.
A government spokesperson said the treatment of LGBT serving personnel between 1967 and 2000 was “wholly unacceptable” and encouraged LGBT veterans to “apply for restorative measures online”.
According to the British military, there are thousands of veterans that were affected by the anti-LGBT law that was in place until 2000. In fact Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently called the ban an “appalling failure” of the British state.
