“You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. And you belong,” President Joe Biden said at a Pride Month celebration on the South Lawn of the White House
“You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. And you belong,” Biden said in his remarks on the South Lawn to a cheering crowd. The president praised the “extraordinary” courage of LGBTQ Americans, while acknowledging the discrimination and violence the community faces. “No one should have to fear for their safety in this country,” he said, recognizing survivors of the Pulse nightclub and Club Q shootings who were present at the event.
Similarly, the number of such bills signed into law so far this year is more than double last year’s tally, which had been the highest on record, the Human Rights Campaign said. They include pronoun refusal laws, forced student outing laws, anti-drag bans and laws restricting classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation.

Biden marks LGBTQ+ Pride Month with celebration on White House South LawnPresident Joe Biden has welcomed hundreds to the White House for a delayed Pride Month celebration. The event is aimed at showing LGBTQ+ people that his administration has their back at a time when advocates are warning of a spike in discriminatory legislation, particularly aimed at the transgender community, sweeping through statehouses. The gathering was initially scheduled for Thursday, but was postponed because of poor air quality from hazardous air flowing in from Canadian wildfires.
