Joe Biden welcomed hundreds of guests to a picnic on the South Lawn. It was part of a celebration of Pride Month and the administration's support for the LGBTQ+ community amid a flurry of anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been introduced and passed across the country at the state level.Among the attendees was Montoya, a transgender rights activist who rose to prominence in 2021 for her educational social-media content about trans issues.

On Monday, Montoya posted a video to her Instagram and TikTok accounts, recapping the White House picnic."Trans rights are human rights," Montoya said in the clip while shaking Biden's hand.

Near the end of the video, Montoya was shown walking toward the White House and going topless on the South Lawn as her hands covered her breasts.Asked about Montoya's behavior, a White House spokesperson told Newsweek in a statement it was "inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House."The spokesperson said that her actions were "not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families or the other hundreds of guests who were in attendance" and that "individuals in the video will not be invited to future events."While Montoya's actions have seen her barred from attending future events at the White House, at least under Biden's administration, her follower count has seen a surge in the days since the event.Montoya has gained 1,100 followers since Saturday, according to Social Blade, bringing her count up to 793,900 as of Wednesday.
