Entry #82: Serving openly in military in Italy

Current Version

RegionItaly
IssueServing openly in military
StatusLesbians, gays, bisexuals permitted, transgender people banned
Start DateJan 1, 1986
End Date(none)
DescriptionUntil 1986, "sexual deviance" was a reason for exclusion for military service. At that time, some men claimed to be homosexual to avoid the draft. Lesbians have never been banned from the Italian military since women were first allowed to serve in 2000. Since 2010, discrimination against gays and lesbians in military service is banned, but the situation for transgender people is unclear. The organization Polis Aperta estimates that 5 to 10% of Italians in uniformed service (military or police) are LGB. Despite the ban on discrimination, some service personnel unfortunately face harassment or violence because of their sexual orientation. Unfortunately transgenders have not yet gained the right to military service in Italy because gender identity is still considered a disorder because it can significantly limit the subject in the performance of the tasks required by military service.
