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.
