Portsmouth: Allan Grimson

On 12 January 2000, the way the British military treated serving LGBT+ people changed forever. Prior to that date, anyone who was LGBT+ was banned from serving in the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army.
Before the ban was lifted, serving members of the forces lived in fear of being outed. They lived in fear of being themselves. They kept their head down and got on with their jobs.
However, not all LGBT+ people who were serving at the time were kind souls who were secretly supportive of their other LGBT+ colleagues. One person in the Royal Navy was the complete opposite.
This is his story.
