What to Expect From a Biden Presidency: On LGBTQ+ Equality [[link removed]]

BY CARRIE N. BAKER & ANNA DRAGUNAS | Trump has devastated LGBTQ+ rights in the United States over the last four years.
After four years of the Trump administration rolling back LGBTQ+ rights at home and abroad, Biden has his work cut out for him. President-Elect Joe Biden has pledged to reverse course and pursue an aggressive plan to advance LGBTQ+ equality in the U.S. and around the world.

In his plan to advance LGBTQ+ equality, Biden has pledged that he will “provide the moral leadership to champion equal rights for all LGBTQ+ people, fight to ensure our laws and institutions protect and enforce their rights, and advance LGBTQ+ equality globally.” Biden’s plan includes:

protecting LGBTQ+ people from discrimination;
supporting LGBTQ+ youth;
protecting LGBTQ+ individuals from violence;
expanding access to high-quality health care for LGBTQ+ individuals;
ensuring fair treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in the criminal justice system;
collecting data necessary to fully support the LGBTQ+ community; and
advancing global LGBTQ+ rights and development.

In these ways, Biden will move the U.S. toward a government-wide focus on uplifting of LGBTQ+ people at home and abroad. ( Click here to read the rest of this article on MsMagazine.com. [[link removed]] )
