The Trump administration is purging government websites of mentions of LGBTQ+ people and resources for people with HIV.

Terms no longer found on the official White House website include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

Erasing LGBTQ+ people is part of the goal of the new fascist regime.
glaad 1) BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM WHITE HOUSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES GLAAD: "President Trump claims to be a strong proponent of freedom of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any information containing or related to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration's goal of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to find federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our community is more visible than ever; and this pathetic attempt to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful." (January 21, 2025 -- New York, NY) -- Today GLAAD, the world's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, is breaking news that the Trump administration has eliminated nearly all LGBTQ and HIV focused content and resources from the White House website, as well as eliminated LGBTQ and HIV content from key federal agency webpages. Mentions of "lesbian," "bisexual," "gay," "transgender," "sexual orientation," "gender identity," and related terms are no longer accessible on WhiteHouse.gov, and the search term "LGBTQ" now brings up zero results on the site. In addition, some LGBTQ-specific pages have been taken down from the Centers for Disease Control, Department of State, and more. GLAAD will continue to monitor federal agency websites in the coming days and weeks to track any LGBTQ-related webpage takedowns.
