Summary
LGBTQ Americans are deeply concerned about Donald Trump’s second term, citing his anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, policies, and ties to conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation.
His past actions and campaign ads targeting trans individuals have raised fears of eroding healthcare access, legal protections, and rights, especially for transgender people.
Trump’s alignment with the Project 2025 agenda, which promotes rolling back LGBTQ rights, heightens anxiety, despite his appointment of an openly gay treasury secretary.
Advocates warn of significant societal and legal repercussions.
I would guess you’re still going to be relatively safe in an urban area like NYC, but if you’re in, say, rural Oklahoma, it’s time to pack your bags.
It’s good advice, but moving is out of the financial reach of most people. Especially moving to a safer place, which will have much higher cost of living attached.
