The Election’s Impact on the LGBTQ+ Community
In this episode of the Better Together Arizona podcast, ONE Community Co-Founder and President Angela Hughey is joined by President of Equality of Arizona, Michael Soto.
86% of the LGBTQ community voted for the democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, as reported in an NBC Exit poll, showing a spike from 2020 when Donald Trump received 27% of the LGBTQ vote.
Angela and Michael discuss Project 2025 and what lies ahead for the LGBTQ community with the upcoming Trump presidency, including expected legislation targeting transgender community members. A transgender military ban will all but certainly be introduced, and Medicare and Medicaid funding restrictions for transgender healthcare are anticipated as a start.
Fears are that the Trump administration will choose to interpret the Bostock decision differently than the Biden administration, therefore creating vulnerabilities for LGBTQ employees in the workplace. Additionally, an ongoing case–United States v. Skrmetti–could have significant implications for transgender rights nationwide including medical treatments for transgender minors.
In efforts to protect the right for marriage in the event the Supreme Court elects to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, states across the country are are working to approve ballot proposals to protect same-sex marriage in their state.
