Statement on Rollback of Transgender, Nonbinary, and Intersex Protections for Veterans
Together with Minority Veterans of America, Modern Military Association of America, and SPARTA, ONS’s Luke Schleusener vehemently condemn the VA’s decision to rescind the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Directive 1341 — a lifesaving policy that ensured transgender, nonbinary, and intersex veterans received respectful, clinically appropriate health care — in a recent joint press release:
“At a time when the American people face growing global threats, attacks on LGBTQ+ service members, veterans, and their families make all of us less safe…All who are willing and qualified to sign up for military service — and all who have honorably served our country in uniform — deserve our respect, gratitude, and support.”
