Global LGBTQI Rights Support: Passports, Asylum, and Sanctions for Persecution.

This law strengthens the US commitment to protecting LGBTQI rights globally by imposing sanctions on foreign officials responsible for persecution. For US citizens, it allows for the selection of a neutral gender marker (X) on passports and simplifies citizenship acquisition for children born abroad via assisted reproductive technology. Furthermore, the act reforms immigration law, making it easier for LGBTQI individuals to seek asylum in the US and ensuring better protection in detention facilities.
Key points
Travel Documents: US citizens can self-select a neutral sex designation (X) on passports and consular reports of birth abroad.
Citizenship for Children: Simplifies the path to citizenship for children born abroad to US citizen parents, regardless of biological connection, provided the parent is the legal guardian.
International Sanctions: Imposes travel bans on foreign individuals and their families responsible for gross human rights abuses against LGBTQI people.
Asylum Reform: Amends immigration law to explicitly recognize persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity as grounds for asylum, and repeals the one-year asylum filing deadline.
