The U.S. Department of Defense has agreed to overhaul its process for LGBTQ veterans to seek honorable discharges after they were barred from serving because of their sexual orientation, according to a filing in San Francisco federal court on Monday.

The Pentagon said it will restore the discharge records of 35,000 veterans to “honorable,” ending a class action suit filed more than a year ago by veterans outed under the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policies.

The U.S. Department of Defense will consider granting honorable discharges to more than 30,000 gay and bisexual veterans who were barred from serving in the military because of their sexual orientation,
