Isn’t it back to being unacceptable to be transgender and in the military because of the previous administration right now?

That memo was repealed when Biden took office, but excellent example -- one of the largest employers in the country, too.
It's not since very recently -- and to some extent still only in certain geographies -- that being gay in the workplace is apolitical.
I'm actually generally a fan of "no politics / no religion" cultures (IME: actual literal rules indicate the culture is broken... not opposed to rules, but I prefer places where it doesn't even need to be said out loud!). But there absolutely are workplaces where being gay is political. And prior to the 1990s being out at work was very much not a good idea in most of the country.
We're not talking about ancient history here...
