President Joe Biden’s administration is celebrated as the most pro-LGBTQ in history, and he recently made history by sitting down for an exclusive interview with the LGBTQ newspaper Washington Blade. In the interview, Biden reiterated his commitment to the LGBTQ community, reflected on past milestones, and highlighted his administration’s pro-LGBTQ actions, including legal challenges and appointments of LGBTQ officials. Biden praised the courage of openly gay individuals and celebrated the recent primary victory of Sarah McBride, who is set to become the first transgender member of Congress.
While acknowledging progress for the LGBTQ community, Biden also spoke about challenges faced by all Americans, particularly criticizing former President Donald Trump’s policies towards the LGBTQ community. He expressed concern for Project 2025, a conservative agenda that Trump disavowed, and emphasized the importance of passing the Equality Act to federally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Biden pledged to continue advocating for LGBTQ rights even after leaving office, stating that he will work to pass the Equality Act and promote equality through his foundations. Despite the obstacles, Biden remains committed to advancing LGBTQ rights and ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.
