In another slew of disappointing and disgusting tweets, Donald Trump reinstated a ban on transgender people serving in the US military. Fellow dance music artists have taken to Twitter to express their opinion on the matter.
On Wednesday morning, July 26, Trump tweeted, “After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow…… Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming….. victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you.”
Check out the various reactions from the dance community below.
We stand with all members of the LGBQT community, most of which are more brave and empowering than this senile old man.

If you’re transgender just know you are and will always be treated as an equal.

i don’t think we have fully accepted that the president of the united states is actually a sociopath, and is incapable of empathy.

Our @POTUS @realDonaldTrump is piece of ?. His intolerance does not reflect our country. We are better than this. #transrightsarehumanrights

Allowing all people to serve the US military is not a matter of defense but a matter of being a country worth defending
