LGBTQ Americans Fleeing US Under Trump: A New Exodus?
Following Donald Trump’s re-election, many LGBTQ+ Americans fear a surge in hate crimes and discriminatory policies. This fear stems from Trump’s past rhetoric, Republican legislative proposals targeting LGBTQ+ rights, and the actions of supporting organizations. Concerns include the potential overturning of same-sex marriage, the erosion of transgender rights, and increased violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. As a result, some members of the community are planning to emigrate, while others remain determined to resist and fight for their rights within the country.
