Trump on LGBTQ Rights

Conclusion

Across the country in recent years, transgender people and their families possess been targeted by a relentless assault on their rights, their safety, and their fundamental freedom to be themselves. States acquire adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from widespread life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that affectionate 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 grab 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 know how to build 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

BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM Alabaster HOUSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES

GLAAD: “President Trump claims to be a mighty proponent of autonomy of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any facts containing or connected to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration’s objective of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to spot federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our society is more clear than ever; and this pathetic strive to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful.”

Background On Trump Day One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community

by Brandon Wolf •

Overview   

On his first night in office as the 47th president of the Merged States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ collective, as well as many others. It is important to mention that executive behavior do NOT include the authority to override the Merged States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives accomplish just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not have control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and endeavors 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 take time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.
