Today, alongside our co-counsel Lambda Legal and Winston & Strawn LLP, we were able to secure a preliminary injunction which prevents the Air Force from unnecessarily kicking out HIV+ service members. "Voe, who [Judge] Brinkema noted has deployed to the Middle East twice, came to court Friday in uniform. 'I’m really excited,' he said after the hearing. 'This is the first time in two years I’ve had hope.'" ...

Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said authorities have shown no evidence justifying the termination decision, which the airmen are challenging.

“U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema issued the ruling from the bench after hearing oral argument today on both Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN’s motion for preliminary injunction and the administration’s motion to dismiss. A written order is likely to issue by early next week.

“The lawsuit challenges the Pentagon’s discriminatory deployment policies, which prevent service members living with HIV from deploying outside the United States without a waiver. For years, these unjustifiable policies have restricted the opportunities of service members living with HIV. Now the Trump administration and the Pentagon are using these same deployment restrictions to justify discharging service members solely based on HIV status.”

Decisions about who can serve should be based on science, not stigma. We will keep fighting until these fully-qualified Airmen can serve without limitation. #HIV

"Despite President @realDonaldTrump’s promise to improve the lives of people living with HIV at the State of the Union this month, his administration continues to defend these policies and others discriminating against people most impacted by #HIV."—Lambda Legal's @PozAdvocate.
