transgender military ban

Co-introduced in the House by out Rep. Mark Takano, the bill would address the lingering effects of the military’s decades-long attack on LGBTQ personnel.

The measures will allow service members to access gender-affirming health care, among other provisions.

Sgt. Byun suddenly passed just over a year after her discharge from the South Korea’s military, which earned the country scrutiny from the United Nations and LGBTQ activists.

While there is still an internal review of recruitment policy under way in the Defense Department, the Pentagon made clear that trans people can walk in and start enlisting whenever they’re ready.

Joe Biden repealed the transgender military ban, and SNL makes fun of transgender people’s bodies.

Even most Republicans say they support Biden extending discrimination protections to LGBTQ people.

One of Biden’s biggest campaign promises to LGBTQ voters is being fulfilled.

“I truly believe, senator… that if you are fit and you’re qualified to serve and you can maintain the standards, you should be allowed to serve,” said Secretary of Defense nominee Lloyd Austin.

While he can reverse Trump’s executive orders, the fate of federal legislation banning discrimination rests on two Senate races in Georgia.
