These kids want you to know Donald Trump is no friend of theirs, no matter what he may say.
To mark six months of Donald Trump's presidency, the Human Rights Campaign released a video of transgender children describing the support they receive from their friends, like acceptance, protection, and love. The video then parallels these comments with Trump's campaign claims that he will be a "friend to the LB and LGBT community," before showing the anti-trans policies he's implemented over the past six months.
Along with rolling back Obama-era protections for trans students in public schools, Trump has also elected many anti-LGBTQ cabinet members, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The president also never declared June as LGBTQ Pride Month, arguably the biggest national celebration of queer identity each year.
The end of the HRC's powerful video has a simple message that's hard to refute: "These trans kids know what it means to be a friend. Donald Trump, you are no friend."
