The well-beg of lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) dividuals is a topic of creasg ncern wh the ary where signifint stutnal barriers, targeted aggrsn, and differential anizatnal polici such as “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” have historilly ntributed to experienc of excln and discrimatn. However, limed rearch has examed specific ary and post-separatn experienc among LGB service members and veterans. The goal of this study was to exame differenc ary and service separatn experienc by sexual orientatn among a large reprentative sample of Uned Stat service members and veterans. Survey data om the 2016 Millennium Cohort Study follow-up qutnnaire were ed to asss sexual orientatn and multiple out of tert: ary experienc (morale, feelgs about the ary, missed workdays) and service separatn experienc (reasons for separatn, post-separatn employment). The associatns between sexual orientatn (LGB vers heterosexual) and each of the out were evaluated a seri of adjted logistic regrsn mols, stratified by sex when teractns were observed. Of the 99,599 participants, 3.4% intified as LGB. In adjted mols, LGB service members had signifintly higher odds than heterosexual service members of feelg: unimprsed by the qualy of un learship, unsupported by the ary, and negative about the ary overall. Bisexual women were more likely than heterosexual women to feel ls un mararie; both gay and bisexual men felt ls mararie than heterosexual men. LGB veterans were more likely than heterosexual peers of the same sex to separate om service due to unplanned admistrative reasons. Compared to heterosexual women, lbian and bisexual women were more likely to separate om service due to dissatisfactn wh promotns/pay and disabily/medil reasons, while bisexual women specifilly separated due to dissatisfactn wh learship and patibily wh the ary. Gay and bisexual men also reported separatg due to patibily wh the ary, but only bisexual men were more likely to report separatg due to disabily/medil reasons pared to heterosexual men. Ls posive ary- and separatn-specific experienc disproportnately affected LGB service members this study.
