Interesting choice of words, even if obviously flawed. Trump is the FIRST president elected that was PRO GAY MARRIAGE. As for the transgender issue, it is not about discrimination, but about readiness and the cost of that readiness. There are all kinds of discriminating factors involved in disqualification from military service. Trump is listening to his Generals that do not wish to deal with this issue and have good convincing arguments.
