Hundreds of bills targeting the LGBTQ community have been proposed across the country, leaving some military members, who have little say in their duty station, feeling unsafe.
While military members take an oath to serve their country, their family members do not, yet are often subject to a military lifestyle, which can include numerous moves.
States across the country have proposed measures that would restrict transgender youth from gender-affirming care, school sports, and education on LGBTQ issues.
The Exceptional Family Member Program makes an effort to ensure service members and their dependents are stationed in locations capable of meeting their health care needs, but U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alleria Stanley said the program isn't designed to meet all the needs of LGBTQ care.

The military has a very large hammer to use in this case. Example. They can tell the Texas Gov they will be relocating troops and the jobs that go with them elsewhere like or Holloman AF base or WSMR which are more friendly to the LGBT family members.
