13 ways the LGBTQ community has been harmed by the Trump presidency

13 ways the LGBTQ community has been harmed by the Trump presidency:



When Donald Trump ran for president, he pledged he would be an LGBTQ ally, even holding a pride flag at a campaign rally in 2016. Shortly after he became president, the White House announced, “President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights.” We’re all disappointed, but some of us are not surprised at the administration’s negative impact on LGBTQ civil rights as we enter the second year of his presidency.
1. Saying it’s legal to fire workers for being transgender.
2. Arguing that it’s legal to fire workers for being gay.
4. Telling the Supreme Court that shopkeepers can turn away LGBT customers.
5. Withdrawing protections for transgender students.
6. Refusing to investigate anti-transgender discrimination complaints in public schools.
7. Trying to kick transgender people out of the military.
8. Issuing a religious liberty policy.
9. Starting to rescind protections for transgender patients.
10. Declining to appoint an LGBT liaison for the White House
11. Protecting health care workers who don’t help transgender patients.
12. Dropping its lawsuit against North Carolina’s anti-transgender law.
13. Retracting plans to count LGBT people in the Census.
