Beyoncé voices her support for trans youth after Trump's bathroom decision

Beyoncé shared a message of support for trans students on Thursday, a day after President Donald Trump rescinded rules that allowed trans students to use school bathrooms that align with their gender identities.

"#LGBTQ students need to know we support them," a post from her Facebook page reads, before sharing a link to GLSEN.org, an organization that advocates for LBGTQ students.

As the New York Times reports, acting against the wishes of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Attorney General Jeff Sessions pushed for Trump to rescind the bathroom rules put in place during the Obama administration.

The president sided with Sessions and overruled DeVos, who chose to give in on the issue rather than risk her job. A joint letter from the Justice Department and the Education Department argued that the issue is one for states and local governments to settle on their own.

Beyoncé is one of many celebrities who've made public displays of support for trans youths following Wednesday's decision.
