** 🎖 Biden reverses ban on transgender service members
------------------------------------------------------------
President Biden signed an executive order to reverse the ban on transgender people from serving in the U.S. military. According to new polling data from The Trevor Project and Morning Consult, 60% of American adults support allowing openly transgender people to serve in the U.S. military, including a majority of military households. The discriminatory policy had a harmful impact on transgender and nonbinary youth mental health.

** 🦠Evidence on COVID-19 suicide risk & LGBTQ youth
------------------------------------------------------------
We released a research brief that debunks common myths associated with how COVID-19 is impacting suicide risk and mental health. It’s often assumed that suicide deaths, thoughts, and attempts have doubled in the U.S. since the start of COVID-19, but it’s much more complex than that.

** ⚖️ Executive order combats LGBTQ-based discrimination
------------------------------------------------------------
We celebrated President Biden’s LGBTQ non-discrimination executive order, which directs federal agencies to implement the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, prohibiting workplace discrimination on the basis of one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
“The Trevor Project celebrates today’s executive order combating LGBTQ-based discrimination as a critical first step in the Biden Administration’s commitment to protecting the LGBTQ community. We are hopeful that today’s actions are followed by many more needed to support LGBTQ Americans and LGBTQ youth in particular.”
—Amit Paley, CEO & Executive Director, The Trevor Project
