Trump's record on LGBTQ rights has been vile from the moment he took office. We kept a list.

From the moment he stepped into the White House, President Donald Trump’s record on LGBTQ rights has continued to get worse and worse.

It has now been over 3 years, and despite administration officials’ claims that he is a “pro-LGBTQ” president, the attacks from the White House are still coming. From erasing any mentions of LGBTQ rights from federal websites minutes after his inauguration to supporting a school’s right to fire a gay teacher, Trump’s LGBTQ rights record couldn’t be more heinous.

Thankfully, our friends at GLAAD run the Trump Accountability Project, and they have kept a tally of the nonstop barrage on the community’s civil rights. From erasing our issues to allowing healthcare providers to discriminate against LGBTQ people, it’s all on the list.

And, of course, we’ve been here reporting it all for you. We’ll continue to monitor the situation with our partners at GLAAD until Trump finally leaves office – and update this list as necessary.
