President Biden bowed out of the presidential race on Sunday after weeks of pressure following his debate performance in June.
He leaves a long record of support for the LGBTQ community as a key part of his powerful legacy and he has raised the bar for future presidents when it comes to fighting for our community.
We’ve never had a fiercer ally in the White House — a president who pledged to make LGBTQ rights his top legislative priority and described anti-transgender discrimination as the “civil rights issue of our time.” He has celebrated Pride month with us each year as well as the Trans Day of Visibility and taken criticism from the right for it.
He includes us in the State of the Union Address and other high-profile speeches. Young voters mustn’t get complacent; such sentiments from a sitting president are not the norm.
