The unprecedented security in D.C. ahead of Inauguration Day has put transgender and LGBTQ people experiencing homelessness at increased danger as tents continue to be taken down, Airbnb bars reservations and shelters reach capacity.
LGBTQ and trans leaders are preparing for a dangerous Inauguration Day after extremist supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S.
Capitol on Jan. 6, and are expected to return as President-elect Biden is sworn in. “We expect violence, we do expect disorder, and we expect the people who will be coming to D.C.
are not coming on friendly terms,” said Ruby Corado, founder and executive director of Casa Ruby, a homeless shelter for LGBTQ youth in D.C.
