“Every American who loves our country deserves the chance to defend our country. President Trump’s ban on transgender troops is based on prejudice and discrimination, not the best interests of our national security. While today’s Supreme Court ruling is a step back for progress, the legal fight for the equal rights of all Americans will continue.”
