I just got a copy of my DD214 from 1982 it says I was discharged for homosexual activity but honorably.?
Is there legal recourse to fix this document?
I served my country for 5 years and have refused to use this document due to my concerns about being discriminated against.
Most of my GI Bill was wasted and after the recent changes I assumed wrongly that my privacy was at long last being protected...it is NOT.

Yes, now that DADT has been repealed. They had some WWII vet who was discharged for being gay get his discharge changed from dishonorable to honorable.
So, you need to contact the National Archives for whichever branch of service you were in & plea your case. They may be able to block out the homosexual part, but it was an honorable discharge , which is a rarity for the 80s. You also may need to talk to a lawyer who specializes in upgrading discharges, but since your discharge is already honorable, there may not be anything else that can be done.
Good Luck, & thank you for your service!
