  WASHINGTON — Today, President Donald Trump will reportedly write a slew of executive orders taking aim at the American people. The Human Rights Campaign issued the following statement:

  “Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect in all areas of their lives. No one should be subjected to ongoing discrimination, harassment and humiliation where they work, go to school, or access healthcare. But today’s expect

  Background On Trump Day One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community

  by Brandon Wolf •

  Overview   

  On his first evening in office as the 47th president of the Combined States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ group, as well as many others. It is important to notice that executive behavior do NOT contain the authority to override the Combined States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives act just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not have control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and endeavors to do so will be challenged through litigation.
  
  Currently, much is unknown about whether or how the administration or other actors will comply with these directives, and in most instances rules will need to be promulgated or significant administrative guidance will need to be issued in order for implementation to occur. These are processes that take time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.

  This piece was published before Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to represent the Democratic Party. No significant facts have been changed or added.

  Donald Trump’s administration initiated a sustained, years-long effort to erase protections for LGBTQ people. This included an effort to “define ‘transgender’ out of existence,” erode protections for transgender students and workers, and weaken access to gender-affirming health care that most transgender people already struggled to access.

  While President Joe Biden’s administration reversed much of the Trump-era abuses, just last month on the campaign route, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will suggest prote
