This week, GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Tracker reached a milestone of 300 shameful anti-LGBTQ actions, statements, and policies against the community, from the start of the Trump administration’s first term until today.
The list includes approximately 77 anti-LGBTQ actions since January 2025, when the administration began its second term.
GLAAD is holding Trump and his administration accountable in the media for every piece of vile rhetoric and every hostile proposed or enacted policy seeking to harm or erase LGBTQ people and the issues that matter to us. Most recently and notably, the administration eliminated the 988 suicide and crisis hotline’s specialized services for LGBTQ youth, a federal program that provided services to approximately 1.5 million youth. Since 2022, the 988 Lifeline provided evidence-backed, specialized services to the country’s highest risk groups for suicide, including veterans and LGBTQ youth. As of July 17, 2025, the option to connect to specialized services for LGBTQ youth is no longer available. (LGBTQ youth in crisis can continue to access the Trevor Project’s crisis services line 24/7 at TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help at any time.)
The administration’s cruel efforts to target, dehumanize, and create fear and infighting among the LGBTQ community are at odds with the growing cultural visibility of LGBTQ people taking place on a larger scale – according to 2025 polling by Gallup, 9.3% of all American adults identify as LGBTQ – and a high number of changemakers who are accelerating acceptance and resisting hostility, as chronicled in GLAAD’s ongoing Heroes of the Resistance series.
GLAAD will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable in the media as our movement partners hold them accountable in court.
