Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt suggested that “anti-LGBTQ+” laws passed by several states threaten military readiness and that these laws affected hiring and promotion decisions.

“Since January of this year, 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,” Burt said last week during a Pentagon Pride Month event. When looking for potential candidates for military assignments at various locations in the country, “I strive to match the right person to the right job.”
