BREAKING: Trump Administration May Rollback Key Component of Nation’s Anti-Discrimination Laws

BREAKING: Trump Administration May Rollback Key Component of Nation’s Anti-Discrimination Laws

Administration is considering revocation of “disparate impact” regulations, which protect marginalized communities from unintended discrimination

GLAAD’s Sarah Kate Ellis: “These attacks on LGBTQ and other marginalized people must stop.”

NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today condemned the Trump Administration after a new report suggested the government is considering the rollback of “disparate impact” regulations within the country’s anti-discrimination laws. Under “disparate impact,” a person would have legal protections should they experience unintended discrimination in housing, education, or other ways of life (like access to quality transportation).

The leaked memo by the Justice Department is the latest example of the Trump Administration’s efforts to undermine and create unnecessary obstacles for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ Americans. According to GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Project (TAP), the memo marks the 88th time President Trump has attacked LGBTQ people in policy and rhetoric since taking office.

“Either the Trump Administration is blissfully ignorant or just simply unwilling to understand the depth of discrimination that exists in the United States. But one thing is certain: if you are a part of a marginalized community, President Trump wants nothing to do with you,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “These attacks on LGBTQ and other marginalized people must stop.”

President Trump and his administration have worked to erase LGBTQ people from the fabric of this nation since the start of 2017. GLAAD has tracked the Trump Administration and every anti-LGBTQ action with its Trump Accountability Project. For more about these, go to www.glaad.org/trump.

New York’s Non-Binary Option On Birth Certificates Is In Effect

New York’s Non-Binary Option On Birth Certificates Is In Effect

A measure passed by the NYC city council in September went into effect January 2nd and now allows for another gender on their birth certificate.

The measure allows birth certificates to be updated with three options: M, F, or X.

Effective today! People born in NYC can now change the gender marker on their birth certificates to “X.” The third category makes birth certificates more inclusive to all gender identities. Here’s what you need to know: t.co/QyaSSVK7sE pic.twitter.com/38BcxCppzs

Additionally, transgender New Yorkers no longer need a letter from a doctor to correct the gender on their birth certificates. Instead, it’s enough to bring in a notarized affidavit that explains that the gender marker needs to be updated to affirm one’s gender identity.

“Transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers deserve the right to choose how they identify and to live with respect and dignity,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio in a statement.

“I have long advocated for this gender ‘X’ category option and I am proud that New York’s birth certificates are now as inclusive as our City,” said City Council Speaker Corey Johnson.

“I hope everyone who chooses to change their gender marker knows that their City government has their back and supports their decision.”
