President Joe Biden has slammed “cruel” Republican efforts to roll back LGBTQ+ rights across the US, describing them as “close to sinful”.

Discussing the legislation during an interview with The Daily Show’s Kal Penn, the 80-year-old directly referenced Florida’s numerous anti-LGBTQ+ bills. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful,” he said. “It’s just terrible what they’re doing.” He continued: “It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I want to become a man or I want to become a woman or I want to change’.

Biden explained that an appropriate response to these bills would be for Congress to pass legislation similar to last year’s federal recognition of same-sex marriage rights. “You mess with that, you’re breaking the law, and you’re going to be held accountable,” he added.
