Lesbians have never been banned from the Italian military since women were first allowed to serve in 2000.

The organization Polis Aperta estimates that 5 to 10% of Italians in uniformed service (military or police) are LGB.

Unfortunately transgenders have not yet gained the right to military service in Italy
