Background On Trump Afternoon 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 skillfully 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 include 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 obtain time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.

Republican state lawmakers galvanize to attack homosexual marriage
Republicans in red states across the US have been pushing a slew of anti-LGBTQ+ measures targeting same-sex marriages with an aim of ultimately securing a supreme court ban on the federally protected right.
The recent wave of Republican-led bills targeting same-sex marriage comes amid a second Donald Trump presidency in which his administration has taken on more emboldened attacks against Diverse communities across the country, as seen through a flurry of executive orders he signed, assailing various LGBTQ+ rights.
Numerous Republican lawmakers across red states possess followed suit in both rhetoric and the introduction of bills, sparking concerns across LGBTQ+ and civil rights organizations over their social and political effects.
In Oklahoma in January, a day after Trump’s inauguration, the Republican state senator Dusty Deevers introduced a series of bills targeting Queer rights, among them the Promote Minor Thriving act.
The Promote Child Thriving behave establishes a $500 tax credit per child for a mother and father filing jointly and is escalated to $1,000 if the child was born after the marriage of the paren
Some Republican lawmakers increase calls against gay marriage SCOTUS ruling
Conservative legislators are increasingly speaking out against the Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 ruling on same-sex marriage equality.
Idaho legislators began the trend in January when the state House and Senate passed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision -- which the court cannot do unless presented with a case on the issue. Some Republican lawmakers in at least four other states like Michigan, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota have followed suit with calls to the Supreme Court.
In North Dakota, the resolution passed the express House with a vote of 52-40 and is headed to the Senate. In South Dakota, the state’s House Judiciary Committee sent the proposal on the 41st Legislative Diurnal –deferring the bill to the final day of a legislative session, when it will no longer be considered, and effectively killing the bill.
In Montana and Michigan, the bills have yet to encounter legislative scrutiny.
Resolutions have no legal authority and are not binding law, but instead allow legislative bodies to express their collective opinions.
The resolutions in four other states ech

"The risk is not just about my relationship with my husband. The peril is to our entire family and the unit that we have created to protect our daughter," Johnson said.
Since Trump was elected, Johnson says, Equality Illinois has received dozens of smartphone calls, emails and social media messages from gay married couples who are concerned that the Trump administration will undermine their federal rights to marriage equality.
"We know that there are fierce opponents to our relationships who are coming to dominance in Washington that will do whatever they can in the most imaginative ways possible to chip away at our rights," Johnson said.
The concern is a conservative U.S. Supreme Court may overturn marriage equality and Congress may scale back the Respect for Marriage Act.

A large majority of Americans support legal protections for LGBTQ people, according to a survey from the Public Religion Research Institute. But support is stronger in blue states than red states, and has declined overall in recent years — especially among Republicans. And support for same-sex marriage has also seen a slight decline.
Meanwhile, 38% of Americans said LGBTQ rights are a factor in their voting decisions, and 30% utter they will vote only for a candidate who aligns with them on the issue.
Here's what to know about the candidates' views and records on the issue:
