Trump Picks Christian Pro-Life Conservative to Replace Homosexual as Army Secretary

TN State Senator Mark Green

President Trump has chosen a Tea Party, pro-life conservative Christian and former U.S. Army flight surgeon as Secretary of the Army in a move that LGBTQ activists denounced, according to news sources.

If approved by the Senate, Tennessee State Sen. Mark Green, a Clarksville Republican, would fill the spot occupied by Eric Fanning, who was appointed in 2016 by former President Obama as the first “out” homosexual to hold the post.

Open homosexuality was not allowed in the Armed Forces until Obama signed a bill ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in 2011. As LifeSiteNews reported, Fanning was a leading pro-“transgender” advocate in the military and a key player behind Obama’s policy change allowing gender-confused individuals to serve openly.

As a rising conservative political star, Green was two months into his run for governor of Tennessee. His departure shakes up the GOP primary.  
Green, who became a state senator in 2012, was running as a “Reagan conservative” and on Feb. 6 tweeted:
“President Reagan's legacy as a bold conservative leader is one I strive to live up to. ‘Man is not free unless government is limited.’"
The 52-year-old Green’s campaign website states: “Dr. Mark Green is a conservative Christian, veteran, father, husband and businessman.” The Tennessean newspaper describes him as “a former Army officer and West Point graduate who is popular among many Tea Party-aligned Republicans.”
