Acknowledging and apologizing for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service and committing to the pursuit of equal rights, protections, and respect for all LGBT servicemembers and Federal civil servants.

S. Res. 766 is legislation introduced in the Senate that acknowledges and apologizes for the mistreatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service. In Sec. 1, the Senate condemns past discrimination, apologizes to affected service members, veterans, employees, and their families, and reaffirms equal respect and fairness for LGBT people in federal service. In Sec. 2, the resolution says it does not authorize any claim against the United States and does not settle any claim against the United States. This matters to everyday people because it reflects how the Federal Government treats its workers and service members and how it addresses past discrimination.
