Hundreds of people filled Times Square on Wednesday night, protesting President Trump’s ban on transgender individuals serving in the military.
“I am appalled. I am angry and I am going to fight like hell on behalf of my transgender brothers and sisters,” City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said.
Protesters criticized the president’s policy and claimed he’s rolling back time by reversing an Obama-era order that allowed transgender individuals to serve.
Trump announced the move in a series of tweets on Wednesday morning.
