Trumps stance on gay

Background On Trump Evening One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community

by Brandon Wolf •

Overview   

On his first day in office as the 47th president of the United States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ community, as successfully as many others. It is important to note that executive actions do NOT have the authority to override the United States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives do just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not hold control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and efforts to do so will be challenged through litigation.

Currently, much is unknown about whether or how the administration or other actors will comply with these directives, and in most instances rules will need to be promulgated or significant administrative guidance will need to be issued in order for implementation to occur. These are processes that get time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.
