Trump’s proposed 2027 budget cuts more than $6 billion to pro-LGBT HIV programs and ‘research,’ defunds ‘gender transitions,’ and eliminates funding for radical ‘LGBT youth’ initiatives.
The Trump administration’s budget proposal for the 2027 fiscal year includes numerous cuts to pro-LGBT programs as well as a funding request for a new mission center to counteract gender “extremism.”
LifeSiteNews previously covered the budget’s various provisions to defund the abortion industry, and now the LGBT pressure group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is complaining about substantial proposed cuts to LGBT-related budget items, including more than $6 billion dollars to HIV programs, pro-LGBT “research,” and “trans-sensitive behavioral health services and prevention navigation,” as well as bans on funding “gender transitions,” elimination of “gender ideology” funding through foreign aid, and elimination of LGBT-related housing programs.
The budget also targets “DEI and anti-racism teacher training,” “gender-identity-related technical assistance,” an “LGBT youth summit for migrant students,” and “Campus LGBTQIA+ Pride Center staffing.”
Moreover, the budget calls for eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Also noteworthy, as highlighted by Watermark Out News, is the FBI budget request for the recently-created NSPM-7 (National Security Presidential Memorandum 7) Joint Mission Center, which is “working to counter DT [domestic terrorism] and organized political violence by integrating intelligence, operational support, and financial analysis to proactively identify networks and prosecute domestic terrorist and related criminal actors.”
