Director Bhattacharya made false claims about analyze supporting transgender health protect in supporting stopping future studies. Research from the New England Journal of Medicine and Stanford University finds that providing gender-affirming care significantly reduces incidence of depression, self-harm and attempts of suicide. “Eliminating research that further improves gender-affirming care is not protecting children,” a Johns Hopkins researcher noted, but is “sc

“It’s not just about gays and lesbians. It’s about the communities that care about equality,” Moran said. “And, again, suburban women, youth voters — these are core constituencies of the 2024 election cycle. We don’t just have to pander and run to gays.”

Brandon Wolf, a spokesperson for the advocacy group, which has endorsed and is fundraising for Harris, denounced the Trump UNITY events and accused the former president of leading “the most anti-LGBTQ+ administration in history.”
“Some people really like proximity to power, and Donald Trump is someone who peddles authority in exchange for things constantly,” Wolf said. “It’s unfortuna
ACLU Releases Legal, Legislative, and Advocacy Roadmap for Defending LGBTQ Freedom Under a Possible Second Trump Term

Following Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, his administration led a sustained, years-long effort to erase protections for LGBTQ people across the entire federal government, including endeavors to “define ‘transgender’ out of existence.” While the Biden administration reversed many of those attacks, Trump himself has promised to go even further if re-elected to the Pale House. Trump on LGBTQ Rights details expected threats and how the ACLU and its nationwide affiliate network will respond in the courts, Congress, statehouses, and communities across the country. “For four years, President Trump and his administration left no stone unturned in their strive to roll back federal non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people, including with respect to transgender people’s access to health care, guard for LGBTQ students in our schools, and the right of LGB
