Biden Celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride Month at White House Event.

President Biden vowed to protect the rights of L.G.B.T.Q. Americans at a Pride Month event held at the White House. He criticized the recent series of Republican-led bills and laws targeting the community and called on Congress to pass the Equality Act. The administration has taken steps to protect the civil rights of L.G.B.T.Q. Americans, including appointing an official within the Department of Education who will monitor and address the growing number of local bans on books with references to L.G.B.T.Q. people. Biden also assailed laws that have allowed business owners to discriminate against L.G.B.T.Q. people based on their religious or personal beliefs.
