Administration is considering revocation of \u201cdisparate impact\u201d regulations, which protect marginalized communities from unintended discrimination<\/em><\/p>\n

GLAAD\u2019s Sarah Kate Ellis: \u201cThese attacks on LGBTQ and other marginalized people must stop.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 GLAAD,\u00a0the world\u2019s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today condemned the Trump Administration after\u00a0a new report suggested<\/a>\u00a0the government is considering\u00a0the rollback of \u201cdisparate impact\u201d regulations within the country\u2019s anti-discrimination laws. Under \u201cdisparate impact,\u201d a person would have legal protections should they experience unintended discrimination in\u00a0housing, education, or other ways of life (like access to quality transportation).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0leaked memo by the Justice Department<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0the latest example of the Trump Administration\u2019s efforts to undermine and create unnecessary obstacles for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ Americans. According to GLAAD\u2019s\u00a0Trump Accountability Project<\/a>\u00a0(TAP), the memo marks the 88th<\/sup>\u00a0time President Trump has attacked\u00a0LGBTQ people in policy and rhetoric since taking office.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither the Trump Administration is blissfully ignorant or just simply unwilling to understand the depth of discrimination that exists in the United States. But one thing is certain: if you are a part of a marginalized community, President Trump wants nothing to do with you,\u201d\u00a0said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD<\/strong>. \u201cThese attacks on LGBTQ and other marginalized people must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump and his administration have worked to erase LGBTQ people from the fabric of this nation since the start of 2017. GLAAD has tracked the Trump Administration and every anti-LGBTQ action with its\u00a0Trump Accountability Project<\/a>. For more about these, go to\u00a0www.glaad.org\/trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n
