The Boston City Council recently passed a resolution designating the city as a Sanctuary City for the LGBTQIA2S+ community, specifically emphasizing protections for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. In response to President Trump's anti-trans policies, the resolution, while largely symbolic, calls on city agencies to resist federal directives that undermine the rights and resources of the LGBTQ community. With a 12-1 vote, the council aims to ensure continued access to healthcare, housing, education, and employment free from discrimination.
During the election and since, there's been an incredible escalation in anti-trans rhetoric and violence that has caused incredible stress and anxiety to our LGBTQIA+ community and especially to our trans brothers and sisters.
This resolution urges city agencies not to comply with federal efforts that would take away the resources that safeguard the rights of the LGBTQ community.
