Multiple Defense officials have come out with statements this week highlighting the harm anti-LGBTQ+ laws have on military recruitment and retention.
on Wednesday, Space Force Chief Operating Officer Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt pointed out that “more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level” since January.
She said oppressive laws could deter qualified candidates from applying to military positions if they don't"feel safe being themselves and performing at their highest potential at a given location, or if their family could be denied critical health care due to the laws in that state.
“LGBTQ+ and other diverse communities are under attack just because they are different: Hate for hate’s sake,”, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness and the Pentagon’s chief diversity and inclusion officer. “But we must stick together and we must be prepared to confront any such challenge directly.”
