I know they existed in the military in 2010 when they got "freed" by Obama.
But, at least they had to act right up until then and be professional. I never mistreated them as a fellow servicemember. But I hated working with the hard core dykes as they all saw men as part of the problem (no different today).
Openly gay ones got full status in 2010, and I served with one who was the first to open up to me in March or April of 2011. He was a good dude, and a LCDR in the Navy.
I worked as a contractor in 2014 after I retired, they were respectful.
That period seems to be over.
This is meant to incite a speech or riot, nothing but that.
Problem is that most commanders are deathly afraid to charge problems like this, as she is part of the protected society.
I think its human nature to bundle people into groups, de-person them, and then treat all members of said group like shit.
Doesn't matter if its Puritans, Aborigines, Catholics, Protestants, Whites, Blacks, Pinks, Reds, Straights, LGBTQ's, etc.

So I never think you are ending persecution - all you that seems to happen is a changing of the persecution-er and the persecution-ee.
The only thing that is surprising at all about South Africa, for example, is that its not 10 times worse. And as the rest of the world signals that the elimination of the Caucasian ethnic origin is a key year 2100 goal, its for sure gonna be getting there.
I wonder who is going to be the new blame-recipient when all the Caucasians are dead and gone and yet somehow nothing got any better for the "victims"?
If MLK, Jr was alive today, he would probably be studying bio-engineering to create a universal plague to end humanity. His dream sure didn't end well.
