Lawsuit Filed Against Trump’s Transgender Military Ban as Advocacy Groups Push Back
Two LGBTQ legal organizations file suit challenging Trump's new executive order banning transgender individuals from military service, citing equal protection violations.
Overview
In an escalating legal battle, six active-duty transgender service members, supported by LGBTQ organizations, filed a lawsuit on January 28, 2025, against President Trump’s executive order banning their military service. This order, viewed as a revival of past discriminatory policies, stipulates that transgender identity conflicts with military foundations. The lawsuit outlines violations of equal protection laws and cites the potential harm to military readiness by excluding qualified personnel. Legal representatives assert this is a continuation of previous challenges, aiming to protect the rights of transgender individuals and maintain military integrity.
