Biden pardons veterans convicted under military law banning gay sex

US President Joe Biden has pardoned thousands of veterans who were convicted of crimes under a military law that banned gay sex for more than 60 years.
 
The veterans were convicted under a provision of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which criminalised sodomy from 1951 to 2013.
 
Mr. Biden described the pardon as righting a historic wrong.
