HealthHIV and the National Coalition for LGBTQ Health welcome today’s Supreme Court decision in Kennedy v.

Overview: 2025 Executive Actions Impacting LGBTQ+ Health

June 16, 2025

Since taking office in January 2025, President Trump has taken a series of actions that remove or weaken health protections for LGBTQ+ people. These actions collectively aim to restrict recognition of gender identity, limit access to gender-affirming care, dismantle diversity and equity programs, and reshape federal funding criteria—directly affecting the health, access, and rights of LGBTQ+ communities. These decisions are already affecting how LGBTQ+ people get care, whether services remain available, and whether health providers can serve people fairly and safely.
