By proclamation yesterday President Joe Biden said "This month, we honor the resilience of LGBTQI+ people, who are fighting to live authentically and freely. We reaffirm our belief that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America."
The Presidential Proclamation also said, "I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the achievements of the LGBTQI+ community, to celebrate the great diversity of the American people, and to wave their flags of pride high."
The entire text is on The White House website, for those of you interested in reading it all. You can see it HERE. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is likely to mention Pride at various times during the month in her press briefings. Jean-Pierre is the first openly gay person to ever hold that position.
So happy Pride everyone! Isn't it great to have a supportive President?
