HRC PRESIDENT ALPHONSO DAVID SCHOOLS TRUMP ON HIS ABYSMAL RECORD ON LGBTQ EQUALITY: “Every credible LGBTQ organization is mobilizing to defeat Trump, Pence & their anti-LGBTQ extremist allies in 2020,” David (@AlphonsoDavid) said Tuesday in a Twitter thread responding to Trump’s outlandish claims that he has the support of the LGBTQ community. “Those who claim this administration is pro-LGBTQ are out of touch with facts and reality.” Read the thread here, and more on Trump’s anti-LGBTQ record from Michelangelo Signorile (@MSignorile) at the Washington Post. 

The Trump-Pence admin has tried to ban transgender people from the military, attempted to erase LGBTQ people from federal protections, continues to undermine health care for trans people, and courts anti-LGBTQ groups and leaders on an almost weekly basis. This is their record. t.co/NQDIpnolAY

NEW STUDY FINDS TRANS, NON-BINARY AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING STUDENTS AT GREATER RISK FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAN THEIR CISGENDER PEERS: “Sadly, the findings of this very important research mirror what we are seeing among adolescent populations: Transgender and gender-expansive teens are much more likely than their cisgender peers to experience depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges due to bias and stigma,” said Ellen Kahn (@ellenbkahn), HRC Senior Director of Programs and Partnerships.

Chris Hayes Speaks with ‘Log Cabin Republicans’ Official Who Resigned Over Group’s Trump Endorsement: WATCH

Chris Hayes Speaks with ‘Log Cabin Republicans’ Official Who Resigned Over Group’s Trump Endorsement: WATCH

Chris Hayes spoke with Jennifer Horn, a former Log Cabin Republicans board member who resigned this week after the gay conservative group’s endorsement of Donald Trump’s reelection bid.

Horn told Hayes that she made a vow to herself when she got into politics “that I would never say or do anything that I could not defend to my own children. … There is no world where I can sit down at the dining room table and explain to my children that I just endorsed Donald Trump for president.”

Added Horn: “It’s not just the LGBTQ community this president targets. When we look at immigrants, people — anyone that he thinks he can somehow use to anger his base— he doesn’t care if he has to divide on racial lines, on ethnic lines, on educational lines. He will divide and damage and destroy this country in any manner he thinks he need to advance his own political power.”
