Trump gay pride
The fact that convicted felon Donald Trump failed to acknowledge Pride Month is no surprise. He failed to note it throughout his one-term, twice-impeached presidency, among the more than 210 and counting documented moves against LGBTQ Americans.
The Trump campaign’s response to not noting Pride baselessly claimed Trump’s agenda will “create a safer and more prosperous America for ALL Americans, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or creed!”
The campaign’s claims are demonstrably phony. The record shows multiple ways Trump and his enablers made, and strategy to make, LGBTQ Americans LESS safe and LESS prosperous.
A few examples as documented in GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Tracker:
- Trump has promised to defund schools that support transgender students’ guard. Targeting vulnerable students makes them and the entire school community LESS Defended . Stripping funding makes all communities LESS PROSPEROUS.
- Trump has pledged a national prohibit on mainstream consensus health care that allows transsexual people to live and thrive. Restricting health look after endangers people’s health and well-being and makes them LESS SAFE.
- Trump is backed by the longtime anti-LGBT
WorldPride gathers in Washington as Trump rolls back LGBTQ rights
WASHINGTON — LGBTQ people from around the world gather in Washington this week for a procession, a political rally and cultural performances marking WorldPride to channel joy in sexual and gender diversity as successfully as outrage over the Trump administration’s rollback of their rights.
WorldPride, which takes place in a different city around the world every two years, has been running for weeks and will continue until the end of June, bringing hundreds of thousands of demonstrators nearly to President Donald Trump’s doorstep.
The WorldPride parade will march within a block of the White House grounds on Saturday, and the rally will be held on Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial, the site of Martin Luther King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech.
Trump is certain to be the target of protests.
He has issued executive orders limiting transgender rights, banned transgender people from serving in the armed forces, and rescinded anti-discrimination policies for LGBTQ people as part of a campaign to repeal diversity, equity and inclusion programs. His actions own been applauded by conservatives.

LONDON - When Zach Bolen proposed to his partner Derrick Dobson in 2017, he chose a place that meant a lot to them; the hiking trail where the couple had first met, with a view over their entire home municipality of Boise, Idaho.
"I drove him to the top, claiming it would be a fun last-minute adventure as we had not been there in a while. I proposed with all of our friends and family behind us to surprise him after," Bolen, 33, told Context.
Now the couple's long-awaited wedding plans are uncertain.
In January, lawmakers in Idaho passed a resolution urging the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the ruling that legalised same-sex marriage across the United States.
On June 26, the United States will mark 10 years since that la
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 enjoy 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 Home describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace fundamental gender ideology".
The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to strive 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.
