The Council for Global Equality
@globalequality.bsky.social
Washington, D.C.-based coalition of 40 organizations working to ensure strong and consistent support for LGBTQI+ human rights through U.S. foreign policy.
The #InternationalHumanRightsDefenseAct is a legislative fix. It codifies the position of the Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ Persons and mandates reporting. Thank you to @markey.senate.gov and the 30+ Senators who demand equality and justice for all.

This is unacceptable. We are suing the State Department for information on the 2024 Human Rights Reports because we refuse to accept the erasure of anyone's rights. Human rights are for all, without exception.

Unfortunately, despite decades of bipartisan reporting, the Trump administration deleted information on LGBTQI+ persons and other minorities in the State Department's 2024 Human Rights Reports and will be further weaponizing the 2025 reports to advance their anti-trans agenda.

This isn’t human rights reporting. It is a blatant extremist takeover of longstanding U.S. foreign policy.

Under Trump, U.S. human rights reports will flag abortion, gender care
In a dramatic break, the State Department intends to scrutinize other countries’ abuses by emphasizing entitlements “given to us by God.”
