On January 25, 2011, millions of Americans watched President Obama's second State of the Union speech. He left out one important group of Americans when he said:

    Our troops come from every corner of this country - they're black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American. They are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim. And, yes, we know that some of them are gay. Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love. And with that change, I call on all our college campuses to open their doors to our military recruiters and ROTC. It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation.

Should the President be serious about opening the doors to potential troopmembers from every corner of this country, then allowing transgender people to serve openly would be a required step..
