Armed and gay

Article Abstract:

Canada lifted the ban on gays serving in the military in Oct 1992 after a lesbian lieutenant sued the military for discrimination. She won her case and the armed forces were quietly integrated. There has been little public outcry, but gays say social stigma makes it hard to be open.
