As GLAD and NCLR continue to fight Trump’s baseless and immoral transgender military ban in court, we are joining with the Trans People of Color Coalition (TPOCC) and SPART*A this Veterans Month to highlight the stories of transgender veterans and service members of color.
For more than 40 years, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) have been moving the needle on LGBTQ equality.
These courageous individuals, both named and anonymous, are standing up on behalf of their community and will make a difference for generations to come.
March 15, 2020 – GLAD and NCLR Respond to US Navy Granting Waiver to Transgender Officer Who Sued to Challenge Military Ban
“Dedicated military service members shouldn’t have to bring a lawsuit to be able to continue doing their job.” – Jennifer Levi, GLAD Transgender Rights Project Director.
“There is no basis for treating transgender service members differently by requiring them to seek a waiver that no one else has to obtain in order to continue to serve.” – Shannon Minter, NCLR Legal Director
If you have been or could be affected by the transgender military ban, we’d like to hear from you.
