Washington, D.C. -- The Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus released the following statement in response to President Donald Trump deciding to implement his previously announced ban on transgender people serving in the United States military.
“The President’s shameful decision to stand by this unconstitutional ban shows he is willing to play politics at the direct expense of our military,” said LGBT Equality Caucus Executive Director Roddy Flynn. "This ban is inconsistent with the advice of leaders in the military, the results of independent studies, and basic American values of decency and fairness.”
“Transgender people serve honourably in our military to protect our freedom. Our servicemembers are patriots and deserve the thanks of a grateful nation. They deserve a Commander-in-Chief that respects their sacrifice, not one that denigrates it to advance a narrow-minded political agenda.”
