President Biden issues Pride Month proclamation
Tomorrow is Wednesday, June 1, 2022, the first day of June Pride Month 2022. Today the White House released President Joe Biden’s proclamation honoring Pride Month and LGBTQ Americans.
Read the proclamation in its entirety below: May 31, 2022LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER, AND INTERSEX PRIDE MONTH, 2022BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAA PROCLAMATION During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation in the fight for justice, inclusion, and equality while reaffirming our commitment to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and abroad.
I often say that America can be defined by one word: possibilities. This month, we celebrate generations of LGBTQI+ people who have fought to make the possibilities of our Nation real for every American.
Today, the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans are under relentless attack. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights.
