On times square were supporters of the transgender in the us army

Last night, July 26, at times square gathered more than a thousand people who do not agree with the decision of Donald trump banning transgender people to serve in the U.S. Armed forces .

We will remind, on Wednesday, the President decided to publish in his Twitter statement that “the United States government will not allow or will not allow transgender people in any capacity, to serve in the Armed forces of the United States”.

According to trump, U.S. military forces should focus on “decisive and stunning victory” and not to spend money on medical bills of transgender people.

As is often the case, his tweets have caused a wide resonance in the Internet community, but there were also those who decided to Express their discontent offline.

New York protesters wielding banners reading Resist («Resist») and We are the object («transfer»), gathered outside an army recruitment center in times square, where they chanted their slogans.

They believe that the President’s decision violates the civil rights of all transgender people.

“I served my country. I fought for the rich and the poor. And I can’t believe what our President said. I’m impressed. I do not interfere with the government of his service in the army. I do not interfere with the military — I don’t believe the hype,” said a transgender woman , Tanya Walker.

“I want the same transgender among youth, as I was, knew that when they grow up, they will have every opportunity they choose,” said Hannah Simpson.

A contingent of protesters were quite diverse: trump’s tweets are not relished as members of the LGBT community, among whom were veterans, representatives of municipal authorities.

For example, such members of the city Council of new York, as speaker Melissa mark-Viverito, the majority leader Jimmy van Brahmer, Treasurer Scott stringer, a Democrat from the 3rd district Corey Johnson, a Democrat from the 13th district James Vacca, as well as Senator brad Hoylman, Assembly member Richard Gottfried and the President borough of Manhattan Gale brewer made their speeches at a podium with a microphone and a mouthpiece.
