Allen Irvin Bernstein was a gay Jewish World War II veteran who was “blue” discharged after military police learned of his sexuality. This made Bernstein ineligible for veteran benefits including the G.I. Bill and he spent decades appealing his discharge, finally winning a retroactive honorable discharge in 1981. He also wrote a defense of homosexuality, Millions of Qu**rs, in 1940. It was discovered in 2010 and published in 2014.
