@hrc.org My husband and I are both veterans that use the Department of Veterans of Affairs for our healthcare. My husband had his annual checkup today, and was asked a new DEI question:”Are you gay?”. This is troubling. This has never been asked. Why now?! What about🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ veterans?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

This is troubling regardless of what the VA leadership states. Women and minority groups have always had to fight for equal treatment and care in the VA. These aren’t offices for advancement, but out of necessity. Watch this space “ @maddow.msnbc.com www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...
