WASHINGTON — President Biden on Tuesday issued a presidential proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month, vowing to fight for full equality for the L.G.B.T.Q.
community to be codified into law. The official acknowledgment of Pride, a month typically defined for many in the community by marches, parades and parties across the United States, offered Mr.
Biden his latest opportunity to contrast his own priorities with those of his most recent predecessor. Last year, President Donald J.
Trump steadfastly ignored Pride, refusing to acknowledge the celebration with even a presidential tweet. Embassies overseas were prohibited from flying the Pride flag.
