The Trump administration's decision to abandon over $800 million in health research has had a significant negative impact on the health of the L.G.B.T.Q. community. An analysis of federal data revealed that approximately 323 out of 669 canceled grants were specifically related to L.G.B.T.Q. health, which includes essential studies on cancers and pathogens that disproportionately impact this population. The administration's broader stance against diversity programs and gender-affirming care has resulted in severe cutbacks in critical medical research, affecting notable institutions nationwide and jeopardizing future funding opportunities.
The Trump administration has scrapped over $800 million in health research focused on L.G.B.T.Q. people, undermining studies on cancers and viruses affecting sexual minorities.
This research freeze is part of a broader strategy by the administration to dismantle equity programs and gender-affirming care initiatives, severely affecting L.G.B.T.Q. health studies.
