President Joe Biden touted his administration’s pro-LGBTQ policies Monday and vowed more action to continue “the historic progress made towards LGBTQ+ equality” since he took office.

The White House released a fact sheet Monday highlighting dozens of initiatives the Biden administration has undertaken to advance the LGBT movement, including rescinding former President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military. The administration has also announced that U.S. embassies across the globe are allowed to fly rainbow pride flags on the same pole as the American flag.(snip)

Biden followed up the White House statement with an official presidential proclamation declaring June 2021 “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month.”

“While I am proud of the progress my Administration has made in advancing protections for the LGBTQ+ community, I will not rest until full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans is finally achieved and codified into law,” he wrote.

Top on the list of Biden’s LGBT agenda is the passage of the Equality Act, which would include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes under federal civil rights laws. Biden vowed to pass the bill within his first 100 days in office, but ultimately failed to do so.

“LGBTQI+ persons around the world continue to face discrimination, violence, and other forms of persecution because of who they are and whom they love.  Although we still have work to do, the Department is proud to lead by the power of example, including the example set by the LGBTQI+ members of our workforce, in the promotion of human rights for all persons,” Blinken said in a statement.
