Should military recruiters be barred from LGBT events, since trans people can’t serve openly?

“Yes, they should be barred. If you can’t support the community in full, you have no business at a community event. It’s really messed up how trans people are treated as subhuman. The military should stop dragging their feet and accept anyone ready to serve.”

“No. That’s being a little too harsh. It looks selfish on the part of the organizers. There will be a time when transgenders are welcome in the military. The community should be more patient. Understand that change takes time.”

“Yes. I wouldn’t want to minimize the issues that trans people face on a regular basis. One form of discrimina-tion isn’t less egregious than another form. So I would support barring military recruiters until they accept transgender service members.”

“Yes. I don’t agree with the military’s anti-transgender policy. Military recruiters should be excluded from LGBT events until trans folks are welcome. I hope excluding the recruiters will apply enough pressure for the military to make the necessary changes.”
