ABC News: Hillary Slams Republicans for Not Talking About Transgenders Serving In Miltary.

ABC News reports on an issue Hillary thinks is important :

Clinton, who supports same-sex marriage, also took a forceful stance on transgender issues during her remarks, and called for the military to allow transgender people to serve openly.

"We need to say with one voice that transgender people are valued, loved, and one of us," she said. "Transgender people are still banned from serving. That is an outdated rule – especially since you and I know that there are transgender people in uniform right now. They’re just keeping this core part of their identities under wraps because they are so committed to defending our nation. They shouldn’t have to do that. That’s why I support the policy review that Defense Secretary Carter recently announced at the Pentagon. And it’s why I hope the United States joins many other countries that let transgender people serve openly."

She later called out the Republican presidential candidates for ignoring the issue all together.

"See if you are ever in a forum with any of them, if you can get them to say the word transgender," she said.

Because everyone knows transgenders serving in the military is such a pressing national issue!
