LGBTQ+ Resource Links Removed From Federal Government Websites.
The Trump-Vance administration has “eliminated nearly all LGBTQ and HIV focused content and resources” from WhiteHouse.gov and “key federal agency” websites, GLAAD announced in a press release Tuesday.
Prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, GLAAD had catalogued more than 50 links to LGBTQ- and HIV-related content on White House web pages and on websites for the State Department and the Departments of Education, Justice, Defense, Health and Human Services, and Labor, along with other agencies like the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The LBGTQ community is everywhere and not easily erased from public view although this will have a dampening affect on the morale of many members. All eyes are now on him and how far he plans to bend to the Christian right on equal rights.
