Plea on Veterans Day

http://www.advocate.com/transgender/2015/11/11/plea-veterans-day

The Advocate/By Neal Broverman November 11 2015 5:45 AM EST

"The nation honors the sacrifices of its servicemembers Wednesday, in its annual observance of Veterans Day. But for many LGBT servicemembers, it's a bittersweet day.

LGB troops, finally freed from the shackles of "don't ask, don't tell," still must fight to have their dishonorable discharges reversed, while some GOP presidential candidates are endorsing a return of DADT. And a ban remains on open transgender service, though a military working group is exploring an end to the prohibition."
