gave a scathing speech last week calling out “anti-LGBTQ+” state laws, saying such legislation occasionally prevents her from picking the most qualified job candidates.
“Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,” she said. “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.” Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt made a comment saying there are difficulties placing LGBTQ+ and female guardians in roles that are based in states that have passed purported anti-trans, anti-gay and anti-abortion laws.“When I look at potential candidates – say for squadron command – I strive to match the right person to the right job. I consider their job performance and relevant experience first,” Burt went on.
The general said she was called to speak at June 7 event “because creating opportunities for conversations where we can find those individuals is critical to readiness, and resilience and overall well-being of our force.”
