TRUMP'S ANTI-LGBTQ POLICIES & THE FIGHTBACK

Parallel with its frontal attacks/rollbacks of the rights of people of color, immigrants, and women, the Trump Administration has assaulted hard-fought gains in defending the human rights of LGBTQ+ people, making trans people Public Enemy #1. For the hour, Out-FM's Bob Lederer and Stahimili Mapp will talk with Erin Reed (she/her), a transgender journalist based in Washington, D.C. She tracks LGBTQ+ legislation around the United States for her subscription newsletter, ErinInTheMorning.com.
 
Among the topics we will review: 
1) federal censorship of LGBTQ- and trans-specific information (websites, etc.) 
2) federal attacks on gender-affirming care and honest information by federally-funded institutions (whether healthcare-based or otherwise)
3) responses to these and related dictates (like anti-DEI) by nonprofits, schools, universities, etc. -- both anticipatory compliance and resistance
4) the poll showing U.S. residents are "queerer than ever."
