SUBJ/2022 LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH//. Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgenr (LGBT) Pri Month is celebrated each year the month of June. Pri Month is celebrated each year the month of June, and durg this month we take the opportuny to regnize the ntributns of lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer (LGBTG) service members.
“This month, we honor the rilience of LGBTQI+ people, who are fightg to live thentilly and eely, ” Joe Bin said a May 31 proclamatn on “Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer, And Intersex Pri Month. The Mare Corps received flak onle for postg a photo facg part of a ary uniform to celebrate homosexualy, bisexualy and transgenrism on the first day of “Pri Month. “Do we only shoot gay bullets now?
A social media post om the Mare Corps celebratg Pri Month has sparked an angry unterreactn on social media, revealg yet aga how hostily to gay, lbian, and transgenr people servg the ary ntu to lger more than a after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

But sce social media is largely a fom for the airg of grievanc, ’s not surprisg that some folks were triggered by the Mare Corps sayg somethg about the LGBT muny, spe the fact that gay and lbian troops have been able to serve openly sce 2010. However, a 2010 study by The Williams Instute at the Universy of California, Los Angel Law School timated that more than 70, 000 gay, lbian, and bisexual service members were servg the ary as of 2008. Addnally, a 2003 study om the Urban Instute timated that at least 1 ln veterans were gay or lbian and that number is doubtlsly much higher now, said Ldsay Church, executive director and -founr of the advocy group Mory Vets.
