RNC passes disgusting resolution endorsing discrimination against transgender people

Source: LGBTQ Nation




By Bil Browning · Friday, February 2, 2018

The Republican National Committee has joined President Trump in demanding transgender people be banned from the military. A resolution passed at their winter meeting (held in a Trump hotel, naturally) condemns trans people as having “a disqualifying psychological and physical” condition.

“Over the last month alone, the Trump-Pence administration has rolled back significant protections for the LGBTQ community, ripped apart families, and allowed health care workers to discriminate access to medical care,” DNC ­­­LGBTQ Media Director Lucas Acosta said in an emailed statement.

“Today, the RNC decided to go even further and pass a hateful resolution, which only serves to subvert and further demean hardworking men and women who want to serve their country in the most honorable way they can. The RNC has proven they are more than willing to deny basic rights to LGBTQ Americans all while accepting money from an accused sexual predator and funneling money to an alleged child molester.”

The resolution states the committee supports Trump’s “intent and prerogative to strengthen our military with sound personnel policies.” Military command, both current and under previous administrations, have all said including transgender people in the military will cause no disruption and denied that Trump consulted them before announcing his impromptu ban.

As long as she gets what she wants, she's okay throwing others to the wolves...

but now that the orange one has deemed it OK to demonize Trans people...how long will it be before Ms. Jenner is ostracized from her coveted circle of "Haves"..or turned into their token Trans and tolerated in public only but constantly whispered about behind her back?....well, really I'm not that concerned, she gets what she deserves in my book.

In their minds, only people who fit their own self image have rights.

(Note: it is not my intent to induce nightmares by stating the above).
