Following the Trump administration's removal of federal protections for transgender students, Beyoncé took to Facebook to urge her fans to show their support and solidarity. "LGBTQ students need to know we support them,” she wrote. The pop star also shared a link to GLSEN's 100 Days of Kindness campaign, which utilizes social media to offer messages of support for LGBTQ students.
The Trump administration letter, a directive from the Department of Justice and the Department of Education, instructs public schools to disregard previous letters on the protection of rights for transgender students from the Obama administration and allows public schools to set their own rules about gendered bathrooms without risk of losing federal funding.
