Trump on LGBTQ Rights
Conclusion
Across the country in recent years, gender diverse people and their families have been targeted by a relentless assault on their rights, their safety, and their fundamental freedom to be themselves. States have adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from public life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that love and affirm them. Throughout this political onslaught, the ACLU, our nationwide affiliate network, and our millions of members have remained stalwart in defense of the basic principle that all people deserve the freedom to be themselves and every state should be a safe place to raise every family.
Donald Trump’s promises to take these discriminatory policies nationwide should be unthinkable, but it is nonetheless a future we’re prepared for. Transgender people are no strangers to government persecution, political slander, or the criminalization of gender nonconformity. They perceive how to assemble safety, community, and care among one another, and the ACLU has a century-long history of representing, supporting, and advocating for the powerless, the silenced, the m

This piece was published before Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to represent the Democratic Party. No significant facts have been changed or added.
Donald Trump’s administration initiated a sustained, years-long effort to erase protections for LGBTQ people. This included an effort to “define ‘transgender’ out of existence,” erode protections for transgender students and workers, and weaken access to gender-affirming health care that most transgender people already struggled to access.
While President Joe Biden’s administration reversed much of the Trump-era abuses, just last month on the campaign track, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will present prote
Project 2025 In Trump’s First Month: The Threat to LGBTQ+ Rights and Freedoms
The not-so-hidden agenda behind Proposal 2025
Project 2025, a conservative policy plan driven by the Heritage Foundation, has gained attention for its far-reaching proposals aimed at reshaping America’s society. Many of these policies pursue to target LGBTQ+ Americans and strip them of their civil liberties and rights. Though President Trump claimed to not recognize about Project 2025, many anti-LGBTQ+ ideas from Proposal 2025 have been implemented through Trump’s executive orders. As part of Interfaith Alliance’s work to promote Freedom not Extremismand preserve LGBTQ+ freedom, it is essential to examine the influence Project 2025 has had on proposed and implemented policies and to look at its potential consequences for LGBTQ+ rights.
Implemented or In Progress:
Rescinding Biden-era Title IX Policies
The Biden administration’s policies on Title IX sought to protect LGBTQ+ students from discrimination in schools and universities. Project 2025 aims to dismantle these protections by narrowing the scope of Title IX to exclude sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories. These plans
Background On Trump Evening One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community
by Brandon Wolf •
Overview
On his first day in office as the 47th president of the United States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ community, as adequately as many others. It is important to note that executive actions do NOT have the authority to override the United States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives do just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not own control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and efforts to do so will be challenged through litigation.
Currently, much is unknown about whether or how the administration or other actors will comply with these directives, and in most instances rules will need to be promulgated or significant administrative guidance will need to be issued in order for implementation to occur. These are processes that obtain time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has used his first six months in office to enact multiple policies impacting the lives of LGBTQ+ Americans in areas appreciate healthcare, legal recognition and education.
On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for Homosexual youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White Home describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace extreme gender ideology".
The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to contend in girls' categories of school sports.
But rights groups are fighting back. Nine LGBTQ+ and HIV-related organisations have had more than $6 million in funding restored following a lawsuit against three of Trump's executive orders.

What action has Trump taken on Homosexual rights?
Trump started his second term on Jan. 20 by signing an executive order stating the United States would only recognise two sexes - male and female - before scrapping the use of a gender-neutral "X" marker in passports.
He said federal funds would not be used to "promote gender ident
