Date: July 26, 2017
Washington, D.C. Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the United States military would not accept or allow transgender servicemembers in any capacity.
In response, Log Cabin Republicans President Gregory T. Angelo issued the following statement:
This smacks of politics, pure and simple. The United States military already includes transgender individuals who protect our freedom day in and day out. Excommunicating transgender soldiers only weakens our readiness; it doesnt strengthen it. The presidents statement this morning does a disservice to transgender military personnel and reintroduces the same hurtful stereotypes conjured when openly gay men and women were barred from service during the militarys Dont Ask, Dont Tell era. As an organization that led the charge against that hateful policy, Log Cabin Republicans remains equally committed to standing up for transgender military personnel who put their lives on the line to keep us free.

Do they oppose it enough to at least threaten to break with the bubbas? With Dear Leader?
Now is when we find out where their REAL loyalties lie, I guess.
