Pride Day Special. LGBTQ+ Rights at Risk

Pride Day Special

LGBTQ+ Rights at Risk. Amid the rise of ultraconservative policies, recent laws in several US states are directly targeting the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. From restrictions on healthcare for transgender youth to bans on their participation in school sports, public policy is driving the invisibility and discrimination of these communities. How is the LGBTQ+ population organizing in response to the Trump administration? What do these setbacks in rights, once taken for granted, mean for the community?
