Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Instead, HUD wants to: 1. let - and sometimes require - HUD-funded shelters to turn away trans & nonbinary people or risk losing their $$ even if their state/local laws ban such discrimination. 2. let shelters demand “evidence” of and ask invasive questions about someone’s “sex.” 100
Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 18/05/2026HUD also wants to remove bans on discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation throughout HUD’s regulations, including on rental assistance eligibility. HUD doesn’t explain what this would do, but it could lead to LGBTQ+ people getting denied housing assistance. 100
Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Anyone can submit a public comment on HUD’s proposed rule before the June 29th deadline. In the meantime, existing protections remain in place and are still the law of the land. transequality.org/earcommenttransequality.orgTell HUD: Protect the Equal Access Rule! | A4TE 100
