Disgraceful Conduct
Every year, an average of 60 service personnel are administratively discharged from the British forces on the grounds of being lesbian or gay.
‘Disgraceful Conduct’ is a film about double identities, deceit and the betrayal of trust. The film tells the story of Callum Morgan, a lesbian officer in the Royal Air Force. Her career is threatened when a colleague reports her to the RAF Special Investigation Branch; Flying Officer Leslie Robertson is jealous of Callum's recent promotion. When she learns that Callum is homosexual, Leslie uses this information to undermine Callum's career – she claims to have been assaulted by Callum. Because of Leslie's accusations, Callum becomes subject to a witch-hunt. The only way to defend herself seems to be to lie about her sexuality. In the subsequent court-martial Callum has to make a decision which will affect the rest of her life.
