Trump's 2027 budget slashes "radical left" pro-LGBTQ+ housing & HIV programshttps://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/trumps-2027-budget-slashes-radical-left-pro-lgbtq-housing-hiv-programs/ 🔗Molly Sprayregen (6 April 2026)
The Trump administration has released its proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget, and it does not spell good news for LGBTQ+ people.
The Human Rights Campaign is sounding the alarm on the budget's proposed cuts to federal HIV services, transgender health care, LGBTQ+ housing services, general civil rights infrastructure, and more.
"Presidential budgets are a reflection of the nation's values, and this budget shows how little this Administration values the lives of LGBTQ+ Americans despite their tremendous contribution to the American economy and society," HRC President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.
HRC says the budget calls for almost $2 billion in cuts to HIV-specific services. Among the proposed cuts is the elimination of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (HOPWA), which the administration calls "outdated by focusing on housing low-income, homeless, and at-risk HIV-positive individuals, as the prognosis and medical care for HIV have significantly improved since the 1990s."
The budget proposal is chock-full of lines slamming "woke" politics, "gender ideology," and the "radical left," continually slamming the Biden administration for focusing on equity and inclusion.
