Shawn Skelly is the second trans person ever confirmed by the Senate to a position, and Gina Ortiz Jones is the first woman of color to become the second-in-command of the Air Force.

Instead of defending discrimination directly, the Pentagon is debating semantics and blaming the victims.

The Air Force just joined the Marines, Army, and Navy in supporting transgender people in the military.

Sources say Defense Secretary James Mattis’ original report gave a thumbs up to trans people serving in the military, but Pence “overruled” him.

The Defense Secretary’s recommendation about transgender servicemembers just arrived… but what does it say?

With news that the White House has taken the first step in implementing their transgender military plan, two organizations announced their intent to sue.

Even though the Pentagon lifted the ban on transgender service members last year, some transgender cadets are being told to leave the military.

Under orders from Trump officials, the 2020 Census will exclude questions about sexual orientation and gender, basically erasing LGBTQ Americans.

“If someone brings me a problem,” James Mattis told Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, “I will look at it but I am not coming in looking for problems,”

The amendment would have enabled religious organizations to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
