Republican Senate hopeful says U.S. military needs ‘alpha males and alpha females,’ not LGBTQ+ people
"LGBTQ+ people have been in the military since its founding, the only difference is that now they can’t be discharged because of it. It’s as simple as that. Disparaging those who seek to bravely serve our country is not an American value," Narissa Rahaman, executive director of Equality Virginia said in a statement.
