“Pride is a time to recall the trials the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community has endured and to rejoice in the triumphs of trailblazing individuals who have bravely fought – and continue to fight – for full equality,” Mr Biden said in a statement on Tuesday. President Joe Biden has issued an official proclamation recognising Pride Month after Donald Trump neglected to do so throughout his term. When outlets such as The Independent reported this news, they noted that Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, issued no such proclamations during his tenure in office: President Joe Biden issued a presidential proclamation in recognition of the LGBTQ community for Pride Month.
