Since taking office, the Trump administration has sought to reverse healthcare protections for trans people, moved to ban trans people from serving in the military, eliminated rules protecting trans students and pushed to allow businesses to turn away gay and trans customers if they seek a religious exemption. Under Obama, LGBT people won a number of key victories, including the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gay military members, new protections under the Affordable Care Act, an anti-discrimination executive order and expanded recognition of trans rights. “The outcome of this case is going to have a tremendous impact on everyone.” Trump’s most aggressive anti-gay legal argument yet “This is a critical point in history,” said Alesdair Ittelson, the law and policy director at interACT: Advocates for Intersex Youth. The move would fundamentally reverse civil rights for millions of people, LGBT leaders say, and raises fears that LGBT people may lose the minimal protections and resources they have won in past years. The president’s anti-LGBT agenda could soon gain significant momentum at the US supreme court, where Trump’s Department of Justice (DoJ) is pushing to make it legal to fire people for being gay or transgender.
