It must also address the discrimination and barriers that LGBTQI+ individuals and families face by expanding access to comprehensive health care, including reproductive health protecting the rights of LGBTQI+ older adults and preventing and addressing LGBTQI+ homelessness and housing instability. The Federal Government must strengthen the supports for LGBTQI+ students in our Nation’s schools and other education and training programs. My Administration must safeguard LGBTQI+ youth from dangerous practices like so-called “conversion therapy” - efforts to suppress or change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression - a discredited practice that research indicates can cause significant harm, including higher rates of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors by LGBTQI+ youth. The Federal Government must take action to address the significant disparities that LGBTQI+ youth face in the foster care system, the misuse of State and local child welfare agencies to target LGBTQI+ youth and families, and the mental health needs of LGBTQI+ youth.

It is therefore the policy of my Administration to combat unlawful discrimination and eliminate disparities that harm LGBTQI+ individuals and their families, defend their rights and safety, and pursue a comprehensive approach to delivering the full promise of equality for LGBTQI+ individuals, consistent with Executive Order 13988 of Janu(Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation). The Federal Government must defend the rights and safety of LGBTQI+ individuals. They echo the criminalization that LGBTQI+ people continue to face in some 70 countries around the world. These attacks defy our American values of liberty and dignity, corrode our democracy, and threaten basic personal safety. Today, unrelenting political and legislative attacks at the State level - on LGBTQI+ children and families in particular - threaten the civil rights gains of the last half century and put LGBTQI+ people at risk. These disparities and barriers can be the greatest for transgender people and LGBTQI+ people of color. In spite of this historic progress, LGBTQI+ individuals and families still face systemic discrimination and barriers to full participation in our Nation’s economic and civic life. Our Nation has made great strides in fulfilling the fundamental promises of freedom and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, owing to the leadership of generations of LGBTQI+ individuals.
