Biden Denounces Wave of Laws Targeting L.G.B.T.Q. Americans
President Biden told Pride Month revelers that his administration would work to counter the “callous” and “cynical” bills that have recently passed in many Republican-led states.

These bills and laws attack the most basic values and freedoms we have as Americans. You know, too many people in the L.G.B.T. community are worried and afraid about their future and their safety.
