President Biden Announces Mass Clemency for Veterans Convicted Under Anti-Gay Laws
President Joe Biden has declared his intention to issue a proclamation granting mass clemency to veterans who were convicted under laws banning homosexuality in the U.S. armed forces, now acknowledged as discriminatory.
This move aims to rectify what Biden called a “historic wrong” inflicted on thousands of LGBTQI+ service members who were discharged or court-martialed due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The pardon will primarily affect those prosecuted under Article 125 of the Code of Military Justice, which criminalized consensual gay sex until its revision in 2013.
Biden’s decision, announced during Pride Month, underscores his administration’s commitment to equality and justice for LGBTQ individuals who served their country.

“How Can We Support the Killing of Our Own People?” – Wike Fires Back at Genocide Allegations
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
