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 route, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will give prote
Background On Trump Afternoon One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community

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 adv 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 own 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 hold time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.Newly Issued Executive Orders

BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM Pale HOUSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES
GLAAD: “President Trump claims to be a mighty proponent of liberty of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any facts containing or comparable to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration’s objective of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to discover federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our group is more clear than ever; and this pathetic aim to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful.”
(January 21, 2025 — New York, NY) — Today GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, pansexual, transgender, and lgbtq+ (LGBTQ) media support 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.

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 favor healthcare, legal recognition and education.
On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for Diverse youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White Dwelling describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace revolutionary 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.
