President Joe Biden is expected to pardon US veterans who were convicted by the military over a 60-year period under a military law that banned gay sex, three US officials told CNN.
Biden needed some quick good PR so he has his team search out an easy win he could get without actually changing anything about the underlying problem. Pretty representative of his entire presidency.
Or the timing lines up with the California court case that was just recently allowed to move forward for LGBTQ+ veterans to sue the Department of Defense.
Seems more like a reaction to national news than your cynical politician thing.
It’s about time to do this. It should have happened YEARS ago.
But he was waiting until June!

So he only pardoned them at long last because he didn’t want to deal with them suing?
How is that better?
