Space Force general says LGBTQ+ laws have forced her to hire less qualified people during Pride speech
June 16, 2023
A female general with the US Space Force gave a scathing speech during a pride event, claiming state legislation across the country is impacting her ability to hire the right people.
Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt denounced certain states at the 12th Annual DoD LGBTQ+ Pride Event in Washington DC, claiming that legislation that bans minors from receiving often permanent transgender medical procedures and other laws are hindering her from hiring “more qualified people.”
“Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,” she claimed in her speech. “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.”
Burt claimed that certain personnel would likely shy away from jobs located in places that do not allow the controversial procedures, as well as other factors that only seem to exist unchallenged in a small number of states.
