PROJECT 2025
Project 2025, a policy blueprint developed by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups, includes several proposals that are viewed
as anti-LGBTQ+, particularly regarding LGBTQ+ families. These proposals aim to reshape federal policies in a way that prioritizes a traditional nuclear
family structure—defined strictly as one married man and one married woman with their biological children—as the foundation of government policy.
1. Redefining Family Structures: The project advocates for government policies that exclusively support and promote traditional nuclear families,
thereby marginalizing and excluding LGBTQ+ families from federal recognition and benefits. This includes discouraging adoption by
same-sex couples and cutting support for single-parent families.
2. Rolling Back LGBTQ+ Rights: The plan proposes repealing anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly in areas
such as housing, employment, and healthcare. It also seeks to eliminate federal funding for any initiatives that support LGBTQ+ rights or
provide gender-affirming care.
