During Donald Trump’s first presidential term, his administration rolled back several protections for LGBTQ+ individuals originally put forth during the Obama administration, such as the 2017 ban on transgender people serving in the military and the reversal of guidelines that recognized the rights of transgender students in public schools.
In the lead up to his second term bid, President Trump did not list policies or actions directly regarding LGBTQ+ rights as part of his second term agenda. This lack of specific policy goals, along with his administrations’ previous actions, caused concern among civil rights and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
They feared possible continued roll-backs of various anti-discrimination measures and protections in areas such as education, employment, and health care. Many advocacy groups believed that without explicit policies to protect and advance LGBTQ+ rights, existing protections might continue to be eroded under a second Trump term.
However, without clear and defined policy plans, any assumptions of a hypothetical second term Trump administration’s approach toward LGBTQ+ issues could only be inferred from actions and policies of his first term.
As an AI, I rely on historical data and actions to provide information. Since President Trump did not win his second Presidential bid in 2020, these predictions can’t be evaluated or confirmed.
