“There is no longer any legitimate reason for the military to discriminate against service members living with HIV,” said MMAA’s legal & policy director @peterperkowski. https://t.co/bF6Wktg3aK

“Thanks to modern science, there is no legitimate reason to deny service members living with HIV the ability to continue to serve their country without arbitrary restrictions on their assignments and ability to deploy,”—MMAA’s @peterperkowski #LetThemServe https://t.co/PAWWH2eNPJ

“The Equal Protection clause protects against discrimination based on sex. The Supreme Court said discrimination against transgender people is discrimination based on sex. I think that’s a legal truth regardless of context”—@peterperkowski via @attackerman https://t.co/7eYABzpP72

Regarding Trump’s transgender military ban, MMAA’s @peterperkowski tells the @nationaljournal, “Whether [it’s] changed legislatively or through our ongoing case, we’re confident that it’s going to change.”

🗣️Happy #PronounsDay! Remember:

➡️ Singular "they" is grammatically correct.
➡️ Refusal to use someone's correct pronouns is refusing to respect their identity & experience. 👎
➡️ Cis people can help normalize pronoun use by offering their own without being asked!

❤️💛💛💚💙💜

JUST OUT: Our Employment Fairness Project Director Greg Nevins shares his first thoughts upon emerging from #SCOTUS.

“We think the justices heard our arguments and are hopeful they will rule on the correct interpretation of Title VII.” #RiseUpOct8 #OurDayInCourt

[ACLU @ACLU]

Trans and non-binary people belong in workplaces.

Trans and non-binary people belong in schools.

Trans and non-binary people belong in sports.

Trans and non-binary people belong in restrooms.

Trans and non-binary people belong EVERYWHERE.

@SECNAV75 @ericfanning @HONDeborahJames @BlueStarFamily @peterperkowski We're thankful for the military/veteran orgs @Lawyer4Warriors, @JewishWarVets, @BlueStarFamily, @MinorityVets, & @vetshelpingvets for joining us in urging #SCOTUS to uphold the lower courts’ rulings on DACA & stop the harm rescinding it would cause on military readiness.

[Modern Military Association of America (MMAA) @LGBTQ_Military]

@SECNAV75 @ericfanning @HONDeborahJames @BlueStarFamily The Trump-Pence admin “either didn’t care or completely overlooked how rescinding DACA would stigmatize and harm non-citizen service members and their families while also cutting off an important source for military recruiting,” — MMAA's legal & policy director @PeterPerkowski
