The Issue

We are at a critical juncture in the fight for the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ Americans.

The Trump administration’s recent cancellation of over $125 million in LGBTQ+ health funding is threatening decades of critical research that has worked tirelessly to address the health disparities faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.

Over 270 grants have been axed, dismantling a vital field built over 25 years, and impacting research on HIV, mental health, substance use, and other critical health issues affecting LGBTQ+ communities.

This is not just a loss for the LGBTQ+ community; it’s a setback for everyone.

Studies funded by these grants have led to groundbreaking advancements, including effective HIV prevention strategies and precision medicine for sexual and gender minorities. The sudden termination of these funds is jeopardizing the future of countless studies that are essential to public health.

Without continued funding, LGBTQ+ health disparities will widen, affecting millions of lives. We demand that the funding for LGBTQ+ health research be reinstated immediately. 

Sign now to support those who have dedicated their careers to improving the health and well-being of our community. We must restore this funding and ensure that LGBTQ+ health continues to be prioritized.
