Statement by 性色堂 on the Trump Administration鈥檚 Rule Eliminating LGBTQIA+ Protections
The end of the current administration and its seemingly unending attacks on the civil rights of all Americans cannot come soon enough. The recently announced plans by the administration to allow government-funded agencies to withhold services from LGBT individuals is nothing more than systemic, institutional oppression. It will harm our nation鈥檚 ability to end the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and make our shared goals of working to end HIV even more difficult. But even worse, it reinforces a notion that discriminating against people based on who they love or their gender is acceptable.
At 性色堂, we are firmly and fully committed to the full support and inclusion of everyone who needs our care, regardless of who they love, the color of their skin, their gender or their economic status. This kind of attack must be rejected and turned back.
