The Florida LGBTA Democratic Caucus issued the following statement from President Terry Fleming on President Trump’s just-announced ban on transgender troops:

“Once again, President Trump has displayed callous disregard for the lives of LGBTQ service members. As a Navy veteran, I am appalled at this action. The President received a medical deferment to avoid service and has no understanding of our military or the extraordinary courage of those who serve and put their lives on the line for us everyday. We call on the administration to reverse this heinous decision immediately.”
