LGBTQ+ Community Prepares for Challenges Under Trump's Potential Return
Following Trump's election victory, the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender and nonbinary individuals, are facing heightened anxiety and uncertainty. The Trevor Project reported a significant increase in crisis service contacts, with many fearing the rollback of protections under Trump's proposed policies, such as Project 2025. These policies could restrict gender-affirming care, military service, and workplace protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Community leaders urge preparation and support, emphasizing the importance of knowing one's rights and seeking legal advice.
