Comparing the LGBTQ+ Records of Administrative Agencies Under Presidents Biden and Trump

Indeed, the records of both administrations vary significantly with respect to their treatment of LGBTQ+ people and their rights.

While federal agencies under both presidents engaged in a wide variety of actions impacting virtually every aspect of LGBTQ+ lives, one administration had a clear positive impact—and the other a consistently negative impact.

  1. Nondiscrimination Protections for LGBTQ+ People
  2. Data Collection on LGBTQ+ People
  3. Providing Services and Resources to LGBTQ+ People
  4. Promoting Inclusive Policies
