Blog Assignment Part 7

      A few days ago the Pentagon lifts the ban on transgender service members serving in the U.S. armed forces. This means that all transgender soldiers can no longer be discharged or never reenlisted from or into the military. Before this the policy was in-placed by Barrack Obama called "Don't ask, don't tell," and it is turning into its last phase later this year. These new policies will benefit the 9,000 to 14,000 transgenders in the U.S. armed forces. This is a liberty many Americans have been wait for for years, a lady named Sheri Swokowski is one of them. During the 2015 she made a bold statement while giving a speech at the Pride Month parade.
       In the end of the day I see this as a major step moving forward for the LGBT community and I'm happy they're finally becoming integrated into our society, even though I don't completely agree with all of their arguments... as in none. The LGBT community causes such a ruckus over being treated unfair and poorly. But this was one area I agree there should be change.
