Background On Trump Day One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community
by Brandon Wolf •
Overview
On his first afternoon 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 observe that executive deeds do NOT hold the authority to override the Merged 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.

U.S. President Donald Trump has used his first six months in office to enact multiple policies impacting the lives of Gay Americans in areas favor healthcare, legal recognition and education.
On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White House describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology".
The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to compete in girls' categories of college sports.
But rights groups are fighting back. Nine Homosexual and HIV-related organisations hold had more than $6 million in funding restored following a lawsuit against three of Trump's executive orders.

Donald Trump's past statements about LGBT rights
— -- President Donald Trump's surprise tweets this morning announcing a reversal in the policy allowing transgender people to serve openly in the military is one of his clearest policy moves relating to the LGBT collective since taking office.
The move marks a shift in his public stance, after his not taking a hard line against transgender rights during the campaign.
The tweets indicate that the Trump administration is ready to ban transgender people from the military. The president's announcement comes after Defense Secretary James Mattis last month delayed the review of an Obama-era policy that allowed trans people to connect the military.
Trump never specifically talked about the policy during the campaign, instead tending to converse about LGBT rights in relation to news events that were playing out at the time.
The 'bathroom bill'
He first spoke specifically about transgender rights when the controversial "bathroom bill" went into effect in North Carolina during the campaign.
Though not committing either way, Trump called it a "very strong" step to force people to use t
BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM WHITE HOUSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES
GLAAD: “President Trump claims to be a strong proponent of autonomy of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any communication containing or related to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration’s goal of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to find federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our community is more observable than ever; and this pathetic attempt to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful.”
(January 21, 2025 — New York, NY) — Today GLAAD, the world’s largest sapphic, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media activism organization, is breaking news that the Trump administration has eliminated nearly all LGBTQ and HIV focused content and resources from the White House website, as well as eliminated LGBTQ and HIV content from key federal agency webpages.

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