VOTE for Pride
It may be Pride month, but it is also an election year. If Trump becomes president again, then we could end up losing Pride and everything else in the community.
When we say "vote," people expect you to vote for the best candidate in your opinion. However, the ONLY candidate for LGBTQ people is Biden. You may have issues with Biden, but at the end of the day, he is not a homophobic, racist, or a criminal. Trump and LGBTQ do not go together. Especially when he is trying to please a political party that would rather see LGBTQ people dead instead of celebrated. You better believe it is just a matter of time before they ban Pride.
Have you heard about Project 2025 yet? Here is a list of what the Republican Party has planned for everyone with Project 2025.
Project 2025:
On gender-affirming care:
Block gender-affirming health care
End Centers for Disease Controls’s collection of data on gender identity;
Block National Institute of Health research on gender identity and transgender health care and instead fund studies into the “short-term and long-term negative effects of cross-sex interventions”;
Reverse Biden administration’s redefinition of “sex” to include gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy status.
Other:
Add work requirements to receive Medicaid;
Condemn single-motherhood and same-sex marriage;
“HHS should prioritize married father engagement in its messaging, health, and welfare policies.”
On abortion:
Under threat of funding loss, require “liberal states” to report to the CDC, “accurate and reliable statistical data about abortion, abortion survivors, and abortion-related maternal deaths”;
Require treatment of “fetuses born alive” after abortion;
Withdraw Medicaid funds for states that require abortion insurance or that discriminate in violation of the Weldon Amendment, which declares that no HHS funding may go to a state or local government that discriminates against pro-life health entities or insurers;
Audit states for Hyde amendment compliance;
Require the CDC to track “abortion across various demographic indicators to assess whether certain populations are targeted by abortion providers” (based on false allegations of eugenic motivations);
Reverse Biden administration support for travel to get abortion health care;
Prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds and allow states to defund Planned Parenthood in their state Medicaid plans;
Reverse FDA approval of mifepristone or at least go back to the pre-2016 limitation and prohibit the mailing of abortion pills;
Prohibit stem cell research and stop “the development and testing of the COVID-19 vaccines with aborted fetal cell lines”;
Affirm “rights of conscience” to deny medical care;
Declare that abortion and euthanasia are not health care;
Reverse Biden interpretation of The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) that requires treatment of women miscarrying.
Department of Education:
Eliminate the Department of Education, which enforces civil rights law, including Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education;
Revert to the Trump administration’s Title IX sexual harassment and assault standards, which placed burdensome restrictions on the ability of survivors to report assault and obtain justice;
Reverse the Biden administration’s definition of sex under Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and redefine sex to mean biological sex assigned at birth
Increase public funding of religious education through expansion of “school choice” policies and give federal funds to states as block grants with no strings attached.
Administration for Children and Families:
Use TANF (welfare) money to promote “Marriage, healthy family formation, and delaying sex to prevent pregnancy”
Child support in the United States should strengthen marriage as the norm, restore broken homes, and encourage unmarried couples to commit to marriage.
A vote for Trump is a vote for the end of democracy.
