March 28, 2019

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05), who serves as Vice Chair of the LGBT Equality Caucus and a founding Member of the Transgender Equality Task Force, released the following statement after the House passed a resolution condemning President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the military:

"Transgender Americans have served in the military with honor and distinction. They have fought, bled, and died for our country and deserve nothing less from their Commander in Chief than his unreserved support. Today, House Democrats sent a clear message to the trans community – we see you, we support you, and we stand with you."
