Exclusive: The attack against Trans Military people from some GOP in Congress

While we are all distracted about Trump, tweets, Russia and Healthcare, some GOP hatemongers have been trying to overtly attack transgender military personnel. So far the most heinous attempt was thwarted by narrowly few votes. The threat is not gone, and tonight we talk to some folks behind the scene.

Matthew F. Thorn, Executive Director of OutServe-SLDN tells us about his campaign against these initiatives, and details of the fight ahead. Matt sits on a variety of Boards of Director's from state to national organizations and volunteers his time to a variety of progressive and social change non-profits and advocacy groups. He is a leading fundraising and non-profit management professional. For the last decade his work has consisted of a variety of areas including the homeless, the arts, education, the developmentally disabled and LGBT issues. 

Brody Levesque, good friend of the show, and leading journalist also joins to give some perspective to this issue as it sits in the current social and political landscape.
