Mike Bloomberg has a comprehensive policy to ensure LGBTQ+ equality, including a commitment to equal treatment of all LGBTQ+ Americans in the workplace and their communities, addressing disparities in health care and treatment, protecting LGBTQ+ youth and families, and ending violence against LGBTQ+ people.

First and foremost, Mike will reverse the multitude of policy setbacks to LGBTQ+ Americans under the Trump administration. Over the past three years, the Trump administration has acted to dismantle federal protections and resources for LGBTQ+ Americans, including stripping transgender people of their recognized identities and civil rights and nominating judges and officials with strong anti-LGBTQ+ records.

Mike will pass and sign the Equality Act into law, ensuring that LGBTQ+ Americans have consistent non-discrimination protection in a variety of areas, including employment, housing and access to credit, just to name a few. He also pledged to reinstate benefits for veterans who left the military before the repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, called for protections for LGBTQ+ people in refugee and asylum systems, and said the U.S. would resume its leadership position on the world stage by advocating for the rights of LGBTQ+ people across the globe.
