Tomorrow we once again celebrate one of our country's patriotic holidays, Independence Day. Inevitably, on the three major patriotic holidays, LGB people have a desire to write articles about the need to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I am fully supportive of the need to repeal this stupid law. What I'm not happy about is that in these discussions and articles, transgender veterans are always left out.
It's time for transgender people to be included in the DADT discussion and included in the upcoming articles written about it. Transgender people are at just as much risk of being kicked out under DADT as LGB people are and we now have proof of that. There should be no excuse for any upcoming articles to leave us on the cutting room floor.
