Trans People Can Now Get Passports Indicating Their Authentic Gender

After two weeks of noncompliance with a court order from a class action lawsuit, the State Department's help page, updated two days ago, indicates that transgender people can get a passport with their authentic gender at least temporarily, as Orr. Vs. Trump moves through the legal process.

On June 17, 2025, U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick in Boston expanded a preliminary injunction she issued in April that allowed six transgender and nonbinary individuals who challenged the policy to obtain passports consistent with their gender identities or with an "X" sex designation while the lawsuit moves forward, Reuters Reports.

Kobick did so after concluding the policy the U.S. Department of State adopted pursuant to an executive order Trump signed likely discriminated on the basis of sex and was rooted in an irrational prejudice toward transgender Americans that violated the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment.

Will Trump appeal this to the Supreme Court? According to the Trump Anti-LGBTQ+ Executive Order Litigation Tracker he hasn't done that yet.

100s of Thousands March in Budapest Outlawed Pride Parade as Police Detain Dozens

Organizers expected between 30 and 40 thousand participants like in years before, but were shocked when between 100,000 and 300,000 people marched in the Budapest Pride Parade Sunday.

Many said that they were there to support their LGBTQI community, and many said they came as allies to protest the country's fascist regime.

One marcher, Blanka Molnár, told the AP that it was “a fantastic feeling” that more people had attended the Pride march than ever before despite it being outlawed. She said it was “increasingly important” for Hungarians, “even those who have never been to Pride before,” to push back against the government’s policies.

Video has emerged of police slamming peaceful marchers to the ground and forcing them into vans. The total number of people detained due to the governor's office deeming the march unlawful is unknown.
