In one year, the Biden-Harris Administration has made significant progress in advancing equality and equity for #LGBTQI+ people. Below are some ways @POTUS and @VP have re-prioritized LGBTQI+ issues within government and brought LGBTQI+ people back to the table. (thread) 
On day one, @POTUS signed an EO preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. This historic EO directed federal agencies to fully implement all federal laws to protect #LGBTQI+ people. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
In June 2021, the #BidenHarrisAdministration announced that Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, reversing the prior administration’s stance. #LGBTQI+ nbcnews.com/nbc-out/educat…
The Biden-Harris Administration announced it would enforce the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination against #LGBTQI+ people, while ensuring #transgender people can freely access housing and emergency services. cnn.com/2021/02/11/pol…
Days after taking office, @POTUS reversed the discriminatory ban on transgender Americans serving in the military. #LGBTQI+ nbcnews.com/politics/white…
.@POTUS is advancing health equity for #LGBTQI+ Americans by improving access to and affordability of health coverage through the #ACA. 19thnews.org/2022/01/aca-in…
In March 2021, President Biden signed an executive order recommitting the government to guarantee educational environments are safe from from sex discrimination. #LGBTQI+ lgbtqnation.com/2021/03/biden-…
In October 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration began the process of adding a #nonbinary gender marker option to U.S. passports. #LGBTQI+ #intersex state.gov/issuance-of-th…
In May 2021, @HHSGov announced it would enforce policy to protect #LGBTQI+ people from discrimination in health care based on gender identity and sexual orientation through the Affordable Care Act. #BidenHarrisAdministration hhs.gov/about/news/202…
In June 2021, @POTUS announced the creation of the @WhiteHouse-led Interagency Working Group on Safety, Inclusion & Opportunity for #Transgender Americans, which is leading a gov't-wide review of factors that are upstream drivers of violence and poverty. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
President Biden is the first president to issue a proclamation commemorating March 31, 2021 as Transgender Day of Visibility. #TDOV whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
President Biden signed and is leading the implementation of a Presidential Memorandum on Advancing the Human Rights of #LGBTQI+ Persons Around the World. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The President believes "people are policy," as White House Presidential Personnel Director @GautamR46 often says. One year in, the Biden-Harris Administration reflects the diversity of our country, as 14% of all appointees identify as #LGBTQI+. And, we're just getting started!
The work and road ahead includes enacting the #EqualityAct. @POTUS has called on the Senate to pass the Equality Act, which would enshrine basic civil rights protections into law. He believes every American must be able to live freely and openly. #LGBTQI+ whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Also, there is a disturbing proliferation of anti-LGBTQI+ bills in state legislatures across America, most targeting trans youth. @POTUS believes these bills are "bullying disguised as legislation" & "cruel". We should support & embrace our #LGBTQI+ youth! thehill.com/changing-ameri…
In closing, I’d like to shout out my @WhiteHouse #LGBTQI+ engagement work partner, @HannahBristol46 — who brings an incredible amount of passion, dedication and thoughtfulness to everything she does. She truly is amazing!
