"According to research carried out in the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Annual LGBTQ+ Community Survey, entitled ' One Year In: LGBTQ+ Americans Under the Trump Administration', three in ten (29.7 per cent) LGBTQ+ adults believe acceptance of LGBTQ+ people has decreased in the last year while nearly half (47.5 per cent) report being less out somewhere in their lives during the last 12 months."
"People being less out was reported as including workplaces (26.5 per cent), healthcare (25.4 per cent), and public spaces (28.3 per cent. The survey, which is now in its 18th year, analysed responses from 15,000 adults aged 18 and older in the United States, including nearly 10,000 LGBTQ+ adults and 5,000 non-LGBTQ+ adults. The research seeks to document the experiences of LGBTQ+ folks since Trump returned to office for his second term in January 2025."
"In 2025 alone, the Trump administration has enacted 225 executive orders aimed at reshaping the government and country, with many of those attacking the rights of LGBTQ+ people, trans people in particular. These orders have included proclaiming the official policy of the US is that there are "only two sexes", banning transgender people from serving in the military, restricting gender-affirming healthcare for trans youngsters under the age 19 and barring trans women and girls from female sports."
A Human Rights Campaign survey of 15,000 U.S. adults, including nearly 10,000 LGBTQ+ adults, finds declining acceptance and visibility under the second Trump administration. 29.7% of LGBTQ+ adults believe acceptance decreased in the last year and 47.5% report being less out somewhere in their lives during the last 12 months. Reduced outness occurred in workplaces (26.5%), healthcare (25.4%), and public spaces (28.3%). Over half (51.1%) feel less visible than a year ago; 40.1% of LGBTQ+ parents with school-aged children feel less visible at schools. The report links those trends to 2025 executive orders restricting transgender rights and eliminating diversity programs.
