"...more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level. That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole."

That is pathetic and infuriating. These laws protect NORMAL people and their families from the outright depredations of the weirdos, freaks and kooks. They protect us from the cultural revolution that the leftists are fomenting.

That the Pentagon supports the weirdos, freaks, kooks and perverts and believes that making them a catered-to protected class increases our fighting effectiveness and readiness is insane and defies common sense. That the leaders in the Pentagon espouse this nonsense is really worrying.

There is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that catering to perverts improves "the readiness of the force as a whole." NONE at all. They just spout that nonsense and expect us to swallow that swill. It's the very same swill recipe "diversity is our strength."

“There is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that catering to perverts improves “the readiness of the force as a whole.”

Actually, it wrecks unit cohesion.

It’s because of people like her that many people are exiting the military, I for instance. I am so glad I retired.

Notice the "anti-LGBTQ+" laws we're clutching pearls over are focused on access to children, sexualizing and transitioning children. They have nothing to do with LGB adults engaged in relationships with one another. I don't even recognize Q as a thing in more ways than one. (Ok maybe in Star Trek Q is a thing.)

The only + laws that should be on the books are those that punish anyone knowingly, willfully and deceptively exposes a partner to HIV. This is a sexual assault, not a civil right. This is another area the Left has used tactics to bully, coerce and cajole compliance with their perverse agenda by exploiting empathy and good will for a group (HIV/AIDS patients). They're trying it again with TQ (MAPs too) by exploiting LGB cultural gains. It's evil. Not all progress is good.

The "readiness" argument has a very strong case when it comes to not excluding LGB.

One prime example is Alan Turing, the brilliant British mathematician, cryptographer & computer scientist, who was instrumental in their Nazi-defeating efforts during WW2. He was a gay man, he was convicted of homosexual acts, he was even chemically castrated. It broke him and he died of an apparent suicide in his early 40s. The Queen acted justly in posthumously pardoning him decades later.

When it comes to national defense, we need the best scientific minds no matter what gender they get into bed with at night.
