Global Leadership for LGBTQI Equality: Sanctions, Immigration, and Citizenship Reform.

This Act strengthens US global efforts to protect LGBTQI rights by imposing sanctions on foreign individuals responsible for human rights abuses. For US citizens, it guarantees citizenship for children born abroad via assisted reproduction and allows for nonbinary (X) gender markers on passports. Crucially, it reforms immigration law, recognizing persecution based on sexual orientation/gender identity and easing asylum processes.
Key points
Immigration and Asylum: Explicitly recognizes persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity for asylum claims and repeals the one-year filing deadline for asylum applications.
Citizenship and Identity: Allows US citizens to select a nonbinary (X) gender marker on passports and guarantees citizenship for children born abroad to US parents using assisted reproductive technology, regardless of biological connection.
Sanctions: Imposes visa bans and other sanctions on foreign persons found responsible for severe human rights violations against LGBTQI individuals globally.
Foreign Aid: Removes restrictions (like aspects of the Global Gag Rule) on foreign NGOs receiving US health assistance, aiming to improve global health equity, especially regarding HIV/AIDS services.
