Pride in Defence - The Australian Military and LGBTI Service since 1945 (Paperback)

Since the Second World War the Australian military has undergone
remarkable transformations in the way it has treated lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and intersex service members: it has shifted
from persecuting, hunting and discharging LGBTI members to
embracing them as valued members who enhance the Force's
capabilities. LGBTI people have served in the Australian military
since its very beginnings, yet Australian Defence Force histories
have been very slow to recognise this. Pride in Defence confronts
that silence. It charts the changing policies and practices of the
ADF, illuminating the experiences of LGBTI members in what was
often a hostile institution. Drawing on over 140 interviews and
previously unexamined documents, Pride in Defence features accounts
of secret romances, police surveillance and traumatic discharges.
At its centre are the courageous LGBTI members who served their
country in the face of systemic prejudice. In doing so, they showed
the power of diversity and challenged the ADF to make it a far
stronger institution.
