The Biden-Harris administration delivers 24 pro-LGBTQ actions in first 50 Days


GLAAD is on the BEAT - the Biden Equality Accountability Tracker - to ensure that LGBTQ rights are not left behind.

The priorities and the outlook of a Presidency is typically marked by what the administration accomplishes in its first 100 days. As we are halfway to that mark, it appears President Joe Biden (D) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) has prioritized LGBTQ rights.

LGBTQ media advocates GLAAD launched the Biden Equality Accountability Tracker (BEAT) on March 11, the 50th day of the Biden-Harris administration. They determined that 24 actions were taken from the White House that “affect LGBTQ people and rights.”

In a statement, GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said “GLAAD’s Biden Equality Accountability Tracker is an ongoing resource tool to track how well the Biden administration is keeping to its word to make progress for the LGBTQ community. The more than 24 pro-equality moves in just the first 50 days are in stark contrast to the 181+ negative policies and rhetoric deployed against LGBTQ Americans by the previous administration.”

She added, “We have a long way to go to recover lost ground, and GLAAD will continue to hold all accountable to the truth and to their promises to support LGBTQ people.”
