I heard this answer and was holding my breath when the question was answered. Good for General Mattis. I hope he sticks to his guns about this. I'm not LGBTG, but I've heard some caveman responses about this on RP. If you had a relative, family member, or best friend who suddenly announced they were LGBTG, I'll bet my last dollar you would have a different opinion.
Gen. James Mattis' stance has evolved since 2014.
Retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis faced his confirmation hearing for the post of Defense secretary on Jan. 12, where he was grilled on his positions on women and LGBT service members. But advocacy groups are pleasantly surprised to hear that Mattis pledged that he won’t be undoing the work of his predecessors in making the military a place of equal opportunity.

Mattis has more or less said this for years people Only hear and remember what they want to ... and usually it what ever suits their needs for the moment...

You have that right SFC George Smith. If he was a Democrat, he would fly through the confirmation hearing. He's a good pick. I trust him.

SGT (Join to see) I love how they tried to trap him and he shut them down by answering, if they can do the job, then I don't care.

SSgt (Join to see), I thought they were very rude to him with some of the dumb questions he was asked. This is a good question, and I'm glad he said the right thing. Thank you.

SGT (Join to see) - very rude, indeed. But, as was to be expected, he handled it with dignity and class!

You have more important issues. To the LGBT, this is important to them. That's all I'm saying.
