What will the Log Cabin Republicans say about the second Trump presidency?
I can hardly wait to find out. Maybe it will even find a way to benefit a gay person somewhere. Today is February 6, 2025. A few things happened since Trump was inaugurated on January 20. Log Cabin is telling us that he loves and respects LGBT people.
We’re up to 35 now: Trump’s anti-trans orders in the year 2025
Counting the anti-trans executive orders from the White House. I’ve flagged executive orders to give a comprehensive sense of what may happen. I want to help trans people predict what’s coming and prepare for it.
