About 1,500 guests came to Saturday’s rescheduled celebration of LGBTQ+ progress in a year that’s seen renewed discrimination and political attacks.
. The Supreme Court approved marriage equality. Here, at a White House celebrating his part in the American story, Picker Neiss’s trans son, who has dark hair with amethyst highlights, can be himself.in Missouri, the governor just signed two laws that bar trans youth from accessing health treatments that their doctors recommend and limiting trans children’s ability to play in sports teams that line up with their gender.
“I Will Survive” came on. “Are we ready for our step routine?” one attendee at the White House picnic joked to a circle of four friends. A throng swarmed around Pete and Chasten Buttigieg for selfies. Susan Rice embraced old colleagues. Beer and watery mint lemonades flowed with a side of political fundraising talk.Being welcome at the White House, where so many decisions excluding queer people from society have been made, is also a development that many gay Americans never thought they’d see.
“I try to talk to the younger generations and say that folks in my generation didn’t even dream — there was no talk, there was no dreaming of marriage,” he said. It’s all part of a renewed push by Biden to expand some protections for LGBTQ+ Americans as talk of “grooming” and “indoctrination” preoccupies the Republican presidential primary circuit. The Pride reception was originally scheduled to coincide with the announcement of a raft of new initiatives aimed at addressing LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, investigating hate crimes and combating efforts to remove books that discuss sexuality from some public library shelves.
