This week has been a chance to reflect on the many reasons we’re grateful for Joe Biden’s decades of service to our country. To add to that list: I’m particularly grateful to President Biden for leading the most pro-equality federal administration in history. For just a few examples of the Biden-Harris administration’s impact on #LGBTQ Americans: – Starting with an executive order on day 1, integrating sexual orientation and gender identity into nondiscrimination protections across the federal government – Overturning the previous administration’s ban on #transgender military service – Recruiting and appointing record numbers of LGBTQ federal employees – Nominating the first openly LGBTQ cabinet official and first openly transgender official for Senate confirmation – Hosting the largest #Pride celebration in White House history – Enshrining protections for 700,000 LGBTQ families through the Respect for #Marriage Act I was in the audience when President Biden signed the RMA, which felt like a full-circle moment for a leader who had been out front on marriage equality and helped bring the country where it is today. I’m grateful to have a friend and champion of the LGBTQ community in our country’s highest office. Cheers to President Biden’s incredible career.
