Hollywood Reacts To Trump's Trans Military Ban
Donald Trump kicked off his Wednesday with a series of tweets announcing a ban on transgender people from serving in the military.
Well a lot of celebs have criticized his move saying it's so wrong. Lady Gaga, John Mayer and even Kim Kardashian lend her voice against this with lots more saying the ban is unaccepted.
@POTUS Sincerely, did you know of the group you singled out today, 45% of them ages (18 to 24) have attempted suicide already?

The message you have just sent has endangered the lives of people all over the United States and overseas bravely serving our nation @POTUS

Banning transgender people from serving our country is simply wrong. We should be so grateful to anybody who wants to serve, not ban them!

There are 15,000 patriotic transgender Americans in the US military fighting for all of us. What happened to your promise to fight for them? https://t.co/WzjypVC8Sr

We should be grateful to the people who wish to serve, not turn our backs on them. Banning transgender people is hurtful, baseless and wrong

Your legacy continues to be one of ignorance and intolerance. Your cruelty will only ignite our fire. We won't stop this fight.

I don't know what to say about this embarrassment of a president but I stand with the Trans community. I'm sorry.

In decreeing transgender people unfit to serve, Donald Trump continues to visit previously unxplored regions of the suck.

To the transgender men and women. Please know that I am standing with you. 🙏🏾

Trans people embody courage & bravery. They stand in their truth & fight every day. Soldiers deserve respect for their service, not this.

Trump is banning all transgenders from the military. To those who believed Trump would be a friend to LGBTs, time to admit you were conned.

Donald: With your ban on trans people from the military, you are on notice that you just pissed off the wrong community. You will regret it.
