Despite the extraordinary progress our nation has made, our work to ensure the full promise of equality is not yet done. Anti-LGBTQ+ bills still proliferate in state legislatures.
Bullying and harassment — particularly of young transgender Americans and LGBTQ+ people of color — still abounds, diminishing our national character.
From acting on Day One to prevent and combat discrimination to enabling all qualified Americans – including transgender Americans – to serve their country in uniform, to defending the human rights of LGBTQ+ people around the world, my administration has been clear that we will continue to champion the dignity, equality, and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community
From defeating discriminatory bills to passing the Equality Act, we have more work to do to ensure that every American can live free of fear, harassment, and discrimination because of who they are or whom they love.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
To LGBTQ+ people across the country, and especially those who are contemplating coming out: know that you are loved for who you are, you are admired for your courage, and you will have a community — and a nation — to welcome you. My Administration will always have your back, and we will continue fighting for the full measure of equality, dignity, and respect you deserve.”— President Joe Biden‘s statement recognizing National Coming Out Day on October 11, 2021.

Trump stated he would appoint judges to “overturn those awful LGBT rights rulings”
So nice to have a president like Biden who doesn’t hate us and acknowledges we’re part of the country.

So true. I was Biden was a bit more lucid but he’s such a huge improvement over that monster fat slob who used to occupy the White House. Dems better get their shi* together though or we’re going to lose House, Senate and in 2024, the presidency. Biden won’t be fit to serve a 2nd term and I don’t believe Harris is the right person to take over nor would she be voted for in the numbers we need. I think we can count on our Democracy being destroyed if GOP wins 2022 House/Senate and then 2024 Presidency. If that happens I believe we’ll never have another fair election in our lifetimes.

Please remember, it isn’t just about us gays that matters, Biden has made America the laughing stock of the world and he’s deep in the pockets of China and Russia. Biden is a disgrace!! I wish more gays would realize how TOTALLY AWFUL he is!! You are right about one thing Trojan boy, Biden should GO!!
DarkZephyr
@ttm9, you seem to exist in some kind of alternate reality. Biden as NOT made us the “laughing stock of the world”. We were the most hated Nation on the planet while Trump was in power though.
Cam
@Bengali
The same old troll, trying a different tactic. Attacking Trump to hide the fact that it then passes off the same Republican lies about Biden and then attacks Harris.
You aren’t subtle.
Cam
@ttm9
So the troll switches to another screename with a different tone and thinks it hides anything? You are TERRIBLE at this.
But it’s cute that the Russian and right wing trolls are in such a panic about Biden. LOL
ROTHERS
l find it hard to believe that statement. WHO ARE YOU MAN
trojanboy
Go Jo. Power to you.

@ttm9
Please remember, is about gays and getting the same rights as straights. trump has made America the laughing stock of the world. The entire UN General Assembly laughed in his face. Russia has sex tapes of him. He committed seditious acts under the direction of Putin. He started a disastrous trade war with China that virtually bankrupted Midwest farmers. trump is a degenerate. Consorting with prostitutes, discussing how he grabs women by the p*ussy, how he lusts for his daughter, cheated on his wives. trump is a disgrace and the most corrupt president in history!! I wish more gays would realize how TOTALLY AWFUL trump is!! You are right about one thing Trojan boy, trump should GO to jail for the rest of his life along with his immediate family and criminal associates- – oops, I mean the “best people” he chose for his cabinet and advisors.
There, ttm9, fixed it for ya. You’re welcome.

Joe Biden is the most LGBTQ-friendly President this country has ever had and I am profoundly grateful for him and his entire administration. He was pro-marriage equality before Biden and Hillary and has always, always supported equality. He’s an amazing person who deserves our support and respect.

Uncle Joe is just good people. So glad we have him!

Biden’s remarks are welcome and appropriate from the President of the United States. After Trump, many are anxious that Biden could just be a temporary phenomenon, and the nation could backslide as soon as the next election. Let’s hope the country can continue moving forward. There’s a lot of evil out there.
Jer
In a way Biden is like Jimmy Carter: a good man, but not the best possible man for the time. We put him in office to be better than Trump — almost anybody would have been — and he is, but we all need to be finding a successor for him in 2024. If only Bernie were a few decades younger.
LumpyPillows
That’s what you come up with? SMH.
Big Al
Biden is a weak President that causing us to be laughed at from other countries. He barely knows his name.
Does anyone ever read the Bible? How can you support a lifestyle condemned by the Bible?
We live in a crazy world made worse by misguided people.
Kangol2
@BigAl, you actually penned that crap yet you probably support that walking abomination Don the Con, who made the US the world’s laughingstock and created innumerable crises all over the globe. His economic policies with China were a disaster, he left Russia in control of Syria and numerous other countries, he negotiated the horrendous deal that gave the Taliban total power in Afghanistan (and got 5,000 Taliban fighters out of jail), and has been linked to the failed attempted invasion and coup in Venezuela. And that’s just for starters. Then you actually ask, “How can you support a lifestyle condemned by the Bible,” yet you probably support Don the Con, an endlessly lying, racist, xenophobe and serial adulterer who has been accused of raping or assaulting numerous women, who admitted that he grabbed women “by the p*ssy,” and who called for four wrongly convicted young people to be killed. He also incites violence, turns away immigrants, willfully separated children from their parents, and on and on. Don the Con is about as un-Biblical and Christian as you can get!
LumpyPillows
Hey, Big Al, you’re a loser. I wipe my rear with the pages from hotel Bibles.

@Big Al
The same troll account under a different name spouting the same old NewsMax, OAN, Fox News line that Biden made the U.S. a “Laughing Stock”.
The funny thing is, they can never provide specifics of exactly which countries are supposedly laughing at America. Because under Trump they sure were.
Chrisk
I’d be willing to bet that Big Al and ttm9 are one in the same. Lol
Mister P
Who cares what an old fictional book says.

Trump dosent want to be the president .he likes to win..he played more golf , never read or followed the constitution..believes rules , subpoenas are meant to be ignored or broken..he has a vast amount of lawsuits against him that could take all his money and put him in prison…by becoming president again he buys more time .they can’t touch a sitting president..I believe somebody might be so upset they might try to extinguish him…I really hope America is smart enough to say we had enough the first time and send him a message. It ain’t gonna happen.
