HRC lists Trump's persistent attacks against the LGBTQ community after the RNC claims he's taken "unprecedented steps" in assist of the community.

HRC President Alphonso David: “The RNC is hallucinating and advancing misleading and  disingenuous rhetoric. Yes, Trump has taken many ‘unprecedented’ steps, but those steps possess been to undermine and eliminate rights protecting LGBTQ people, not empower us. Appointing a small handful of gay people out of thousands of nominations and making a very few -- and unfullfilled -- pledges can hardly qualify as accomplishments.  Don’t gaslight us.  The Trump-Pence administration is the most virulently anti-LGBTQ administration in decades -- the RNC cannot put lipstick on a pig.”

Here’s a list of attacks the Trump-Pence administration has levied against LGBTQ people:

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

   by Brandon Wolf •

   Overview   

   On his first morning in office as the 47th president of the Together States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ society, as well as many others. It is important to mention that executive behavior do NOT contain the authority to override the Joined States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives perform 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 actions 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.
