Where Trump, Harris tickets stand on LGBTQ issues

By Marie-Amelie George / The Conversation

Polls show that LGBTQ rights will likely factor into most Americans’ pick for president this November as they choose between former Republican President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat.

A March 2024 survey by independent pollster PRRI found that 68 percent of voters will take LGBTQ rights into consideration at the polls. Fully 30 percent stated that they would vote only for a candidate who shares their views on the issue.

It is no coincidence, then, that LGBTQ rights issues feature prominently in the party platforms.

The Republican Party’s electoral promises include cutting existing federal funding for gender-affirming care and restricting transgender students’ participation in sports. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party platform proposes to outlaw discrimination against LGBTQ people, including passing the Equality Act, which would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, health care and public accommodations.

Ok no bullshit, here is an easy answer.

Kamala Harris treats LBGTQ community like human beings. Democrats will give healthcare, equal rights, compassion.

Trump treats LBGTQ community like they don’t exist. Republicans will not give shit.

Thank you.
