What policies are being proposed to promote traditional married families, and how might these affect other family types?
Project 2025 aggressively promotes policies that favor traditional married families, potentially at the expense of other family structures.
This includes promoting policies that provide benefits and support specifically to married heterosexual couples, while potentially withdrawing support from single parents, LGBTQ+ families, and other non-traditional family units.

“Promoting ‘natural’ or traditional family structures, potentially affecting non-traditional families.” (Project 2025, page 521).
Impact:
The focus on traditional family structures could marginalize and reduce the support for diverse family types, leading to decreased social and financial support for single parents and LGBTQ+ families. This could exacerbate social inequalities and discrimination against non-traditional families, affecting their ability to receive equal treatment and benefits.
