Imagine this scenario.
Your family is a victim of Hurricane Harvey. Your home is flooded, no electricity, no food, no transportation.
Suddenly you see a small watercraft coming towards you. As it gets closer, the boatman offers his hand to help your family aboard. You recognize the operator as a member of the LBGT community. You refuse his offer of help.
What person in his right mind would endanger his family by doing such a bigoted and STUPID thing? This is exactly what President Trump is doing by wanting to rid the military of all LBGTs. I would recommend the president read "The Good War" by Studs Turkel, a Marine who fought in the Pacific in WW ll. Maybe then, he would grasp that a person can be LBGT and still be brave and honorable. Much braver than someone who gets four draft deferments because of alleged bone spurs on his heels.
