By the way, even the biggest newspaper in Reno, owned by Gannett, doesn’t think 3 people being slaughtered at a casino is a big deal. 12 hours after it happened, not only is not the lead story of the paper, it’s buried below a dozen other mostly minor stories.

But the Trump administration is now telling them they can no longer serve because of how they express their gender.
That message is immoral. It is unfair. And it is un-American.
