HRC lists Trump's persistent attacks against the LGBTQ community after the RNC claims he's taken "unprecedented steps" in support of the community.

HRC President Alphonso David: “The RNC is hallucinating and moving forward misleading and  disingenuous rhetoric. Yes, Trump has taken many ‘unprecedented’ steps, but those steps hold been to undermine and eliminate rights protecting LGBTQ people, not empower us. Appointing a minor handful of male lover people out of thousands of nominations and making a very few -- and unfullfilled -- pledges can hardly qualify as accomplishments.  Don’t gaslight us.  The Trump-Pence administration is the most virulently anti-LGBTQ administration in decades -- the RNC cannot put lipstick on a pig.”

Here’s a list of attacks the Trump-Pence administration has levied against LGBTQ people:

   Background On Trump Time 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 successfully 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 possess 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 seize time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.

   In the second installment of the ACLU’s election 2024 memo series, our experts detail the threats a potential second Trump administration poses to the LGBTQ community, particularly transgender people. 

   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 footpath, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will give prote
   
   

   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 enjoy healthcare, legal recognition and education.

   On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for Queer youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White Dwelling describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace fundamental gender ideology".

   The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to challenge 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.
