tzijlstra   11 #1 Posted June 30, 2016 Excellent news, the US is slowly becoming more liberal than Europe, quite impressive achievement by Obama (who has indeed failed on other fronts.) But when it comes to LGBT rights the Obama administration has played a blinder.  (edit - only have a Dutch source at the moment, hence no link, feel free to google it).

Mister M Â Â 1,624 #7 Posted June 30, 2016 I only hope that the transgender, and gay people who do join the military are not subject to any bullying. Sadly, recent events in the UK, have shown that others in the military have suffered grievously at the hands of their colleagues.

Mister M Â Â 1,624 #9 Posted June 30, 2016 Are transgenders able to fight on the front line for the UK? Â As long as they are healthy, and there are doctors to assess this, I would have thought so. Why do you question if they would be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
