Why This Matters
Your Family Rights:
Federal recognition affects everything from hospital visitation rights to tax filing status, directly impacting LGBTQ+ families' legal protections and financial security.
Your Workplace Protections:
Title IX and federal employment changes affect whether LGBTQ+ people can expect equal treatment in schools, jobs, and public accommodations in your community.
Your Healthcare Access:
Eliminating nondiscrimination protections in healthcare means LGBTQ+ individuals may face denial of services or discriminatory treatment when seeking medical care.
Your Constitutional Equality:
These rollbacks test whether equal protection applies to all Americans or only those the current administration chooses to recognize and protect.
