June 13, 2024In 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 mark, 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 love 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 extreme gender ideology".
The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to strive 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

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 own adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from universal life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that romance 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 receive 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
No 'victim mentality' or rainbow flags: Gay Republicans rally for Trump
“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.”
Still, Moran and other event organizers said they trust Trump could secure up to 50% of same-sex attracted voters in the upcoming election, without providing figures explaining their reasoning. Millions of American adults spot as lesbian or homosexual, according to Gallup.
In a Human Rights Campaign poll conducted in August, 74% of LGBTQ voters state they plan to or are leaning toward voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, 7.5% for Trump and the remainder for third party write-ins.
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 power in exchange for things constantly,” Wolf said. “It’s unfortuna
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 Combined States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ collective, as well as many others. It is important to record that executive efforts do NOT possess the authority to override the Together States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives execute 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 tries 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.
