WASHINGTON — Today, President Donald Trump will reportedly sign a slew of executive orders taking aim at the American people. The Human Rights Campaign issued the following statement:
“Today, the Trump Administration is expected to launch a barrage of executive actions taking aim at the LGBTQ+ community instead of uniting our country and prioritizing the pressing issues the American people are facing,” said Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson. “But make no mistake: these actions will not take consequence immediately.

Background On Trump Day One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community
by Brandon Wolf •
Overview
On his first daytime 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 mention that executive deeds do NOT own the authority to override the Joined States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives perform 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.Newly Issued Executive Orders

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 track, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will provide prote
