The settlement, filed in San Francisco federal court, aims to rectify the harm caused by the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, which resulted in 'other than honourable' discharges for those who revealed their sexual orientation.

Chelsea Corey of law firm Haynes Boone, one of the lead attorneys in the case, told Reuters that including veterans’ sexual orientation on the paperwork demonstrated intentional discrimination.
