I wish all the LBGT family would just stick together and ask for honorable discharges from the

military at ALL levels.

What a jerk of a President we now have. There was loud outrage over Obama's hesitation and reservation about this and when he finally embraced the rights of all to serve, there was little applause.

Now the pig in the WH has banned service of any kind by transgender men and women in the military. The silence is almost deafening from all the groups that were so outraged by Obama. Really sad.

LGBTQ service members should continue to serve their country with honor and loyalty. That is what demonstrates who they are as human beings. 2: this just happened, let's let folks get their messages straight before we condemn them for being too slow to pull the trigger. Let's not be reactionary, let's be factual.

I do not at all think that would be productive. Further, why would lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people make such a move, and not heterosexuals as well?

...Why should they make it easy for him? If Chump wants them out, let him do it himself.

I don't want to see soldiers be human shields for Putin's tanks as he crosses the border into Finland.
