GLAAD CEO on Trump\u2019s HIV Pledge: \u201cUnfortunately, President Trump\u2019s announcement\u00a0has already been undermined by his own Administration\u2019s record and rhetoric.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

ICYMI<\/a>: \u201cSix People Have Resigned From Trump’s HIV\/AIDS Advisory Council Because He \u2018Doesn’t Care\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 GLAAD, the world\u2019s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today\u00a0responded to reports that President Trump\u00a0will call<\/a> for an end to\u00a0HIV transmissions by 2030<\/a>\u00a0during\u00a0the State of the Union Address tomorrow night in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The Trump Administration\u2019s HIV pledge\u00a0follows\u00a0as many as eight attacks on HIV and AIDS research or people living with HIV and AIDS, including the\u00a0disbanding\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0Presidential Advisory Council on HIV and AIDS<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0discharging two service members<\/a>\u00a0in the Air Force after they disclosed they were living with HIV.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, President Trump\u2019s announcement\u00a0has already been undermined by his own Administration\u2019s record and rhetoric, and there is no reason for LGBTQ Americans or anyone else to see this as anything more than empty rhetoric designed to\u00a0distract from what\u2019s really happening behind the scenes every day,\u201d\u00a0said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO at GLAAD<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s pledge to end HIV transmissions comes as his administration has\u00a0unleashed more than 92 attacks against LGBTQ Americans\u00a0in policy and rhetoric. GLAAD\u2019s\u00a0Trump Accountability Project (TAP)<\/a>\u00a0has catalogued every anti-LGBTQ action by this administration, available at\u00a0www.glaad.org\/trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n
