Biden's Bold Moves to Support LGBTQ+ Community and Combat Book Bans

President Joe Biden marks Pride month with a high-profile show of support for the LGBTQ+ community, announcing new initiatives to protect them from attacks, help youth with mental health resources and homelessness, and counter book bans. The move comes as the Human Rights Campaign declares a state of emergency in America due to an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year. Biden urges Congress to send him the Equality Act, which would add civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ individuals to federal law.
