Key takeaway The rule was never fully implemented due to a federal judge's decision in June 2025.
The Trump administration has ended a rule that aimed to support LGBTQ + foster kids. This rule, created by the Biden administration, required child welfare agencies to provide training and support services to queer youth. The rule was never fully implemented due to a federal judge's decision in June 2025.
The Trump administration officially rescinded the rule on July 14. Further details on this development are available from LGBTQ Nation, including the role of Republican state attorneys general in opposing the rule.
