MEMO: Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates and Stands with LGBTQIA+ Communities
Pride Month is a moment to celebrate the contributions, history, and political power of LGBTQIA+ communities across the country. From the Stonewall uprising that launched the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement to decades of organizing that have shaped American law, culture, and public life, LGBTQIA+ communities have been on the front lines of every major fight for freedom in this country, including the fight for reproductive freedom.
Reproductive Freedom for All has long recognized that reproductive freedom and LGBTQIA+ liberation are inseparable. Access to abortion, birth control, and fertility care is fundamental to how all people—including LGBTQIA+ people—make decisions about their bodies and families. Right now, gender-affirming care is under coordinated attack from the same politicians and extremists driving abortion bans nationwide.
Since taking office, the Trump administration has waged escalating attacks against LGBTQIA+ Americans. On day one, he signed executive orders eliminating federal recognition of gender identity, stripping workplace non-discrimination protections for transgender federal employees, banning transgender service members from serving openly in the military, and gutting LGBTQIA+ health equity programs across federal agencies. Last summer, Trump’s administration terminated the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQIA+ Youth Specialized Services—cutting $25 million in funding to the Trevor Project and eliminating a lifeline that had connected more than 1.3 million young people with crisis support. The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a decision with sweeping implications for bodily autonomy nationwide. In statehouses across the country, a record-breaking 1,022 anti-trans bills were introduced in 2025—the sixth consecutive record-breaking year. The same politicians behind anti-trans legislation are driving abortion bans, because this has always been about controlling what people can do with their own bodies and lives.
In the face of these attacks, LGBTQIA+ communities and reproductive freedom advocates are linking arms to organize—including on college campuses. Reproductive Freedom for All members at Virginia Tech attended Roanoke Pride in April, UPenn members are supporting Philly Pride this week, and at Willamette University, an affiliated campus club hosted a reproductive health fair offering free STI testing for students who came to learn about reproductive freedom.
Reproductive Freedom for All’s 4 million members are committed to building a world where all people can access a full spectrum of health care, free from discrimination and political interference. That means fighting to restore the federal protections this administration has stripped away, fighting to defeat anti-trans and anti-abortion legislation moving through statehouses across the country, and fighting to hold every politician who voted against LGBTQIA+ rights and reproductive freedom accountable at the ballot box in November. This Pride Month, we march, we organize, and we double down on the work to take our country back.
