(Twitter\/@RepSchrier)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the military&#8217;s transgender ban. As you guys read and discussed in earlier articles, the military needed time to review their participation. Then, based on that review, determine what criteria would be needed to allow this to happen&#8230; If it were to happen.<\/p>\n<p>With the ban set to continue, the &#8220;fight&#8221; didn&#8217;t die. The National Center for Transgender Equality provided flags to both Democrats and Republicans. They wanted congressmen to display these transgender pride flags outside their offices. Some Democrats flew that flag in lieu of the POW\/MIA flags, other flew them right next to the POW\/MIA flags.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The move reportedly came at the behest of the &#8220;National Center for Transgender Equality.&#8221; The group tweeted Tuesday that it had delivered the flags to every member of Congress &#8212; even Republicans &#8212; with the request that they be flown outside their offices.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., tweeted a photo of his office with the transgender flag displayed, writing: &#8220;Discrimination has no place in our society. I am proud to display this flag as a symbol of my support for transgender people across the country. We must stand with transgender people in all of our community.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Also from Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Speaking from the floor in support of the resolution, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had also placed a transgender pride flag outside her office, said: &#8220;There is no moral justification for this ban which violates every value of our American democracy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Have those, who switched out the POW\/MIA flag, switched them back in recognition of Vietnam War Veterans? The article mentions that multiple Democrats did this, so not all of them made that switch.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dem-offices-replace-pow-mia-flags-with-transgender-pride-flags-ahead-of-rebuke-to-trumps-military-ban\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the military&#8217;s transgender ban.
