The Trump Administration has announced that the protections against discrimination that LGBTQ+ people have so far benefited under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would be abandoned.
The 2020 Democratic party platform is still pro-LGBTQ. This time, in addition to the references made in the text, there are whole paragraphs dedicated to LGBTQ+ issues.

We can now see the first signs of aggravation of discriminating laws against the LGBTQ community, and more particularly against families.
The Trump administration has been relentlessly attacking health care for LGBTQ+ people when in office, including rescinding an Obama-era rule that protected against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

A few days ago, the Biden administration announced their intention to reinstate this rule. The decision was widely welcomed by LGBTQ+ rights organizations, which have been fighting for this change for many years.
