Donald Trump's past statements about LGBT rights
— -- President Donald Trump's surprise tweets this morning announcing a reversal in the policy allowing transgender people to serve openly in the military is one of his clearest policy moves relating to the LGBT community since taking office.
The move marks a shift in his general stance, after his not taking a hard line against transgender rights during the campaign.
The tweets signal that the Trump administration is ready to exclude transgender people from the military. The president's announcement comes after Defense Secretary James Mattis last month delayed the review of an Obama-era policy that allowed transgender people to join the military.
Trump never specifically talked about the policy during the campaign, instead tending to converse about LGBT rights in relation to news events that were playing out at the time.

Trump on LGBTQ Rights
Conclusion
Across the country in recent years, transgender people and their families hold been targeted by a relentless assault on their rights, their safety, and their fundamental freedom to be themselves. States contain adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from general life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that adore and affirm them. Throughout this political onslaught, the ACLU, our nationwide affiliate network, and our millions of members have remained stalwart in defense of the basic principle that all people deserve the freedom to be themselves and every state should be a safe place to raise every family.
Donald Trump’s promises to accept these discriminatory policies nationwide should be unthinkable, but it is nonetheless a future we’re prepared for. Transgender people are no strangers to government persecution, political slander, or the criminalization of gender nonconformity. They know how to build safety, community, and care among one another, and the ACLU has a century-long history of representing, supporting, and advocating for the powerless, the silenced, the m

Trump’s write down
At a news conference on August 8, 2024, former President Trump criticized the record of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, chosen last week as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, including Walz’s support for LGBTQ people (record here). Trump claimed Walz was “heavy into the transgender world,” without detail on what he meant, or recognition that transgender people are part of everyone’s world.
