I didn't know that mental illness met the standards military service


Two LGBTQ+ activist groups filed the lawsuit on behalf of 6 active military members. 

Several transgender members of the military are suing the Trump administration over a ban on transgender service members. 

The federal lawsuit was filed by two LGBTQ+ activist organizations on behalf of six active transgender service members and two others who wish to enlist. They argued that the transgender ban violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

'It slams the door on qualified patriots who meet every standard and want nothing more than to serve their country.' 

“This ban betrays fundamental American values of equal opportunity and judging people on their merit,” said Jennifer Levi, the transgender and queer rights senior director for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders.
