On Tuesday, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, The United Nations’ independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity stated he is 'Deeply Alarmed" by the state of LGBTQ+ equality in the US. At a press briefing he said, “I am deeply alarmed by a widespread, profoundly negative riptide created by deliberate actions to roll back the human rights of LGBT people at state level. The evidence shows that, without exception, these actions rely on prejudiced and stigmatizing views of LGBT persons, in particular transgender children and youth, and seek to leverage their lives as props for political profit.” Madrigal-Borloz also noted that LGBTQ people of color are particularly at risk in the U.S., facing inequality in relation to health, education, employment, and housing, as well as being disproportionately impacted by violence.
