YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA top Space Force general gave a scathing speech last week calling out “anti-LGBTQ+” state laws, saying such legislation occasionally prevents her from picking the most qualified job candidates.
Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt, the force’s deputy chief of space operations for operations, cyber, and nuclear, made the comment at the Pentagon’s Pride event, where she bemoaned what she described as difficulties placing LGBTQ+ and female guardians in roles that are based in states that have passed purported anti-trans, anti-gay and anti-abortion laws.
“Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,” she said. “That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole.”
Burt appeared to be alluding to the more than 20 states that have banned sex change operations for minors, as well as others that have enacted abortion bans and restrictions.
