This video was made last year, but it is very pertinent to events happening currently to the LGBTQ community. Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services under the Trump Administration announced what it called a "religious freedom" rule which would allow doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers to opt out of providing services or procedures which they claim would violate their faith. This rule could negatively affect LGBTQ health, particularly those with HIV and the transgender community.
That's why the city of San Francisco is suing to block it, calling the rule extremely broad. The video above focuses HHS official Roger Severino, one of the people behind this rule. It shows that based upon his history of anti-LGBTQ activism before coming to HHS, our community probably does have a lot to fear from this "religious freedom" rule.
One more thing - at 6:12, that is the Heritage Foundation's Ryan T. Anderson with Severino. Anderson also has a very long history of anti-LGBTQ activism, including publishing a junk science book attacking the transgender community.
