WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.
Biden’s press release:
No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.
Got it, you think yes is no and up is down, lmao
Well more like you think signing the bill is a victory, and I am saying it is capitulation.
Signing it is a defeat, and its our fault for voting in a conservative 119th Congress after voting in a split 118th Congress. Blaming Biden and blaming Democrats exasperates the problem that caused this.
So you are saying that because the Republicans are incoming, biden should represent thier way? I voted for biden to represent democrats untill the end. The Republicans will have plenty of thier own time to do republican things.
Their way was orders of magnitudes worse.
