澳大利亚政府宣布将向历史上在军队中遭受歧视的LGBTQ+国防人员和退伍军人做出正式道歉1。同时，政府允许现役或已退役人员申请撤销其服役记录中的历史同性恋定罪1。这一举措确认了这些歧视性政策所造成的伤害。
澳大利亚国防军对LGBTQ+人员的限制政策由来已久1。在1992年之前，同性恋和双性恋国防人员被禁止参军1，而对跨性别军人的禁令直到2010年才被解除1。从1974年起，国防军对大多数与同性恋相关的指控主要采用行政措施而非司法程序进行处理1。在政策逐步开放后，LGBTQ+国防人员在2013年首次被允许身着军装参加玛迪格拉斯游行，以此代表国防军1。政府承诺将在今年晚些时候发布正式道歉声明1。
The Australian government has announced a formal apology to LGBTQ+ Defence personnel and veterans who faced historical discrimination, alongside measures allowing them to seek the removal of same-sex convictions from their service records 1. This acknowledgment represents official recognition of the harm caused by decades of policies that subjected LGBTQ+ military members to bans, harassment, and forced discharge 1.
Prior to 1992, gay and bisexual Defence personnel were prohibited from serving, while the ban on transgender military members remained in effect until 2010 1. Since 1974, the Defence Force had largely addressed same-sex-related allegations through administrative procedures rather than formal judicial processes 1. A milestone came in 2013 when LGBTQ+ Defence personnel were permitted to march in uniform for the first time at the Mardi Gras parade in representation of the Defence Force 1. Current and former service members can now apply to have historical convictions related to their sexual orientation expunged from their service records, with the government committing to release a formal apology later this year 1.
