Los esfuerzos est\u00e1n inspirados en un veterano de la Marina de los EE. UU. fallecido en Oreg\u00f3n y la lucha de su madre para garantizar que fuera enterrado en el Cementerio Nacional de Willamette.<\/em>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Washington, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, anuncia varias acciones que contin\u00faan su trabajo de larga data como defensor en el Congreso para restaurar el pleno honor a los veteranos y miembros del servicio que han sido maltratados en las Fuerzas Armadas de los EE. UU. debido a su orientaci\u00f3n sexual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"Los militares y veteranos de Estados Unidos provienen de todos los \u00e1mbitos de la vida, pero todos comparten el compromiso com\u00fan de servir a nuestra naci\u00f3n".dijo Merkley.<\/strong>\u201cTodos los que sirven y se sacrifican por nuestro pa\u00eds merecen todo nuestro reconocimiento, independientemente de su raza, g\u00e9nero u orientaci\u00f3n sexual\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Se estima que 114.000 miembros del servicio fueron dados de baja por su orientaci\u00f3n sexual entre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el fin oficial de la pol\u00edtica militar de "No preguntar, no decir" en 2011, mientras que se estima que 870.000 miembros del servicio LGBTQ+ se han visto afectados por la hostilidad. , acoso, agresi\u00f3n y ataques policiales debido a las pol\u00edticas militares vigentes. A\u00fan hoy, muchos veteranos que fueron despedidos por motivos discriminatorios no pueden acceder a sus beneficios, y aquellos que a\u00fan est\u00e1n en servicio enfrentan protecciones inconsistentes que los hacen vulnerables al acoso y ponen en riesgo sus carreras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como paso fundamental para abordar esta cuesti\u00f3n, el Senador Merkley se uni\u00f3 a sus colegas en el Senado y la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Estados Unidos esta semana (el 12\u00ba aniversario del fin de "No preguntes, no digas") en apoyo de laComisi\u00f3n de Equidad y Reconciliaci\u00f3n en la Ley de Servicios Uniformados.<\/em>Este proyecto de ley, presentado por el senador Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) y los representantes Mark Takano (CA-39) y Sara Jacobs (CA-51), establecer\u00eda una comisi\u00f3n para investigar los impactos hist\u00f3ricos y actuales de las pol\u00edticas militares discriminatorias sobre los miembros del servicio LGBTQ+ y veteranos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Senador Merkley, como copatrocinador original, presion\u00f3 espec\u00edficamente para incluir una disposici\u00f3n en la versi\u00f3n del Senado del proyecto de ley que ordena a la comisi\u00f3n recomendar remedios apropiados sobre c\u00f3mo el gobierno federal puede examinar la cuesti\u00f3n de los derechos de entierro negados a los miembros de los servicios uniformados y a los veteranos que fueron despedidos prematuramente debido a las pol\u00edticas discriminatorias en su contra. Los hallazgos deben luego ser informados al Congreso y se utilizar\u00edan para informar la futura acci\u00f3n legislativa del Senador Merkley sobre el tema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las \u00faltimas acciones del senador Merkley para defender a los militares y veteranos LGBTQ+ est\u00e1n inspiradas en el fallecido veterano de la Marina de los EE. UU. Martin Cerezo, quien estaba en camino de tener una larga carrera militar hasta que fue declarado gay en 1990 despu\u00e9s de 19 meses de servicio. En ese momento, las Fuerzas Armadas de EE. UU. discriminaron activamente a los estadounidenses LGBTQ+ y trataron de buscar y despedir a militares homosexuales como Martin. Le dieron una baja \u201cque no sea honorable\u201d, lo que le pes\u00f3 mucho hasta que falleci\u00f3 en Portland en 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La madre de Martin, Cheryle, prometi\u00f3 honrar su \u00faltimo deseo de ser enterrado en el Cementerio Nacional de Willamette. Cheryle ha luchado tenazmente para garantizar que se cumpliera su promesa. Cuando la Administraci\u00f3n del Cementerio Nacional dijo que Martin no pod\u00eda ser enterrado en Willamette porque no cumpl\u00eda con el requisito de servicio de dos a\u00f1os, Cheryle le pidi\u00f3 al senador Merkley que interviniera y ayudara, tal como lo hizo en 2013 cuando interpret\u00f3 unpapel clave<\/a>para obtener una exenci\u00f3n para que un veterano de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea entierre a su c\u00f3nyuge del mismo sexo en Willamette. Para Martin, los senadores Merkley y Wyden se aseguraron de que se incluyera una carta en la solicitud de exenci\u00f3n de Cheryle al Subsecretario de Asuntos Conmemorativos del VA. Una decisi\u00f3n de excepci\u00f3n puede tardar entre 18 meses y cinco a\u00f1os, pero a instancias de los senadores, se concedi\u00f3 en menos de tres meses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En junio de 2023, Martin fue enterrado en Willamette con todos los honores militares, pero la lucha del senador Merkley por otros veteranos LGBTQ+ no ha terminado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adem\u00e1s, como miembro del Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado, el senador Merkley tambi\u00e9n ha trabajado para incluir texto en el proyecto de ley de financiaci\u00f3n de construcci\u00f3n militar, asuntos de veteranos y agencias relacionadas para el a\u00f1o fiscal 24 que ordenar\u00eda al Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos presentar un informe que detalle el progreso de su Decisi\u00f3n de 2021 para permitir el alta elegibleLos veteranos LGBTQ+ recibir\u00e1n los beneficios que les corresponden<\/a>, incluidos los derechos de entierro militar. El informe incluir\u00eda la determinaci\u00f3n del n\u00famero de veteranos elegibles que han recibido los beneficios que les corresponden despu\u00e9s de esta decisi\u00f3n, as\u00ed como los esfuerzos del VA para realizar actividades de divulgaci\u00f3n hacia estos veteranos elegibles para garantizar que conozcan los procesos para recibir sus beneficios. El proyecto de ley de financiaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 pendiente de consideraci\u00f3n por el pleno del Senado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLos militares y veteranos LGBTQ+ que sirvieron honorablemente a nuestra naci\u00f3n como Martin, o sus familias y seres queridos, no deber\u00edan tener que pasar por obst\u00e1culos como lo hizo Cheryle para acceder a los honores y beneficios que se han ganado\u201d.dijo Merkley.<\/strong>"Seguir\u00e9 presionando para cumplir la promesa de Estados Unidos de tratar a todos nuestros militares y veteranos con dignidad y respeto, sin importar a qui\u00e9n amen o c\u00f3mo se identifiquen". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenador. El apoyo de Merkley al ayudarme a obtener beneficios para el entierro de mi hijo fue invaluable y siempre estar\u00e9 agradecido con \u00e9l y su oficina\u201d. dijo Cheryle Cerezo-Gardiner, la madre de Martin.<\/strong> \u201cNing\u00fan padre, ning\u00fan ser querido, deber\u00eda tener que luchar contra su gobierno para hacer lo correcto, incluso cuando est\u00e1 de duelo por su veterano que fue dado de baja injustamente. Esta naci\u00f3n tiene una deuda con los veteranos LGBTQIA+ que conoc\u00edan los riesgos de ser descubiertos y decidieron servir de todos modos. Este proyecto de ley es s\u00f3lo un primer paso para los miles de mujeres y hombres que buscan justicia. Gracias al senador Merkley y a los patrocinadores de este proyecto de ley, desde el fondo del coraz\u00f3n de una madre agradecida\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
