The two Democratic presidential hopefuls plan to repeal the Trump Administration's transgender military ban and religious exemption policies.
Democratic presidential hopefuls Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren released plans to promote and expand LGBTQ rights Thursday hours ahead of a presidential town hall on the issue.
The military guidance, finalized in May, bars transgender individuals who have transitioned from enlisting in the military. The rule also prohibits active service members from undergoing hormone therapy or gender transition procedures. Warren accused the Trump administration of weaponizing the language of religion and argued that"religious liberty should not be used to shield bigotry." She also pledged to use"every tool" available to reverse the discriminatory practices in her first 100 days as president.
