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 independence of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any data 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 apparent 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 woman-loving woman, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (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.
Mentions of “lesbian,” “bisexual,” “gay,” “transgender,” “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” and associated terms are no longer accessible on Whi
Some LGBTQ people race to claim rights, fearing rollbacks under Trump
LOS ANGELES — In the week after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, Isla Lima submitted paperwork to change her gender from male to female in official documents, as some LGBTQ people panic their rights could be cut back.
Trump, who won the Nov. 5 vote and will be inaugurated on Monday, has stated his intention to rescind some LGBTQ rights during his second term in office.
In December, Trump said he will signal an executive command to end “child sexual mutilation,” an apparent reference to gender-affirming care, and “get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools.”
Trump wants the commandment to recognize a person’s gender only at birth, as male or female. As for gender non-conforming athletes, he has told supporters that he will “keep men out of women’s sports.”
While the Biden administration advanced or protected LGBTQ rights at the federal level, several Republican-run states hold curtailed access to gender-affirming care.
Many trans person people say their gender dysphoria began at an preceding age. The feeling of discrepancy between their gender self and
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 Gay youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White Home 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 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.

Background On Trump Afternoon 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 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 accept time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.
