BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM Ivory HOUSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES
GLAAD: “President Trump claims to be a powerful proponent of liberty of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any information containing or related to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration’s purpose of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to spot federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our community is more clear than ever; and this pathetic attempt to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful.”
(January 21, Modern York, NY) Today GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, is breaking news that the Trump administration has eliminated nearly all LGBTQ and HIV focused content and resources from the Alabaster House website, as well as eliminated LGBTQ and HIV content from key federal agency webpages.

Trump is tapping members of the LGBT community for top spots in his administration — despite Dem hysteria
President Trump is assembling an administration stocked with prominent gay and lesbian Americans — defying hysterical Democratic rhetoric.
When it comes to whether you’re gay or straight, black or colorless and all those markers others calculate President Trump is decision blind. He bases his decision on the kind of position he knows you will do, period, said Bill Light, a top Trump fundraiser — who was tapped to serve as the US ambassador to Belgium.
Among the picks:
- Scott Bessent, 62, treasury secretary. If confirmed, the hedge fund manager would be the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.
- Ric Grenell, 58, presidential envoy for special missions. He was Trumps director of national intelligence during his first term.
- Tammy Bruce, 62, the modern State Department spokesperson was a Fox News contributor.
- Jacob Helberg, 35, undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment.
- Bill Adj, 57, ambassador to Belgium.
- Art Fisher,
Following Donald Trump’s landslide victory in the presidential election, many people may be looking to his campaign speeches to understand his position on major issues such as LGBTQ rights.
The Republican Party’s electoral promises in this area comprise cutting existing federal funding for gender-affirming care and restricting transgender students’ participation in sports.
Yet as a legal scholar who has written extensively on the history of LGBTQ rights, I verb seen that the clearest indication of how a politician will act once in office is not what they promise on the campaign trail. Instead, it is what they have done in the past.
Let’s examine the records of Trump and the vice president-elect, U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio.
Trump restricted some LGBTQ rights
Trump and Vance are both relatively new to politics, so their records on LGBTQ rights issues are slim. That said, they have both done enough to qualify them as opponents of LGBTQ rights.
Trump enacted two policies restricting LGBTQ rights early in his one term in office. The first was his executive order Promoting Free Sp
LGBTQ Appointments in the Obama-Biden Administration
To date, the Obama-Biden Administration has appointed more than openly LGBTQ professionals to full-time and advisory positions in the executive branch; more than all known LGBTQ appointments of other presidential administrations combined.
