President Joe Biden’s administration has been hailed as the most pro-LGBTQ in history, and in a historic interview with the Washington Blade, a D.C.-based LGBTQ newspaper, Biden reiterated his commitment to the community. He spoke about his views on former President Donald Trump’s policies and his admiration for the community’s milestones, including the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and legal challenges to state laws targeting transgender people. Biden has appointed more LGBTQ officials than any other administration and praised the election of Sarah McBride, who is poised to become the first transgender member of Congress.
Despite these advances, Biden criticized Trump’s record on LGBTQ issues and spoke out against Project 2025, a proposed conservative agenda. He pledged to continue working to pass the Equality Act, which would federally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Biden remains committed to advocating for equality even after he leaves office, using his foundations to support the cause. The interview reflects Biden’s belief in treating everyone with dignity and fairness, highlighting his dedication to advancing LGBTQ rights and making history.
