Transgender ban remains in place in U.S. military

WILL IT HAPPEN? | Trans veteran Maeve O'Connor of Dallas, left, thinks that lifting the ban on open military service by transgender people will be tricky, but it is doable. But Mickie Garrison, left, another local trans veteran, says she doesn't believe it will happen "for another 50 to 100 years."

Seeing the ban on open lesbians and gays in the military lifted is a bittersweet victory of transgenders, who still can't serve openly

As lesbian and gay servicemembers and military veterans are celebrating the repeal of the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy — despite delays in implementing the repeal — transgender servicemembers and veterans once again find themselves left behind in the battle for equality.

Because repealing DADT did not end the ban on service by trans people.
