Biden lauds ‘extraordinary’ courage of LGBTQ Americans at White House Pride event

[Social Media]

 

 

 

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcomed LGBTQ Americans to the White House on Saturday for a picnic and concert to commemorate Pride Month.

“You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. And you belong,” Biden said in his remarks on the South Lawn to a cheering crowd.

Biden is a good man .

Whatever someone's sexual orientation is , is not relevant at all . It is this persons business and nobody else should try to condemn something that is part of a private life .

 

Well said. So, why the need for a public spectacle?

In my opinion , everybody has the right to behave as they like as long as no harm is done .

 

Trump , on the contrary , tries to polarize people against each other by claiming ' superiority ' of certain people over others ... that inevitably leads to conflicts and violence .

Then why don't these people keep it private. They have a right as I have a right to laugh at them.

Because they, like you, have first amendment rights.

 

You want to use your first amendment rights to ridicule others people, they want to use their’s to freely and openly live their lives.

"Extraordinary courage" for what, being LGBTQ or for attending Pride Month?

Since you’ve started replying to your own posts (AKA talking to yourself) it might be best to let you have whatever you want, so long as it keeps you happy.

Depends which report you believe. A quick Google search says, twice as likely, four times as likely, pick a number..

Depends of the year. 2020 4 times, 2022 9 times. Same source.

You could ask the same question about Trump and get an entirely different answer.

Well, that would be the quickest way to get Pride shut down.   ????

If that’s what floats your boat, go for it.

I equate extraordinary courage as sailing around the world single handed, or exploring the North Pole, not grown men wearing tutus.

Perhaps you’ve not been on the receiving end of the same abuse as many in the LGBTQ community.

You know, you people took useful words like queer and gay and completely changed the way they're commonly used.. Now you're coming for "mischief" too? This isn't right.

[JackGats]

Pity straight men do not show "extraordinary courage" too in fighting for their sexual rights in the US.

My end is not receiving, it's delivery only.

One might reasonably argue that have a statistically greater chance of being killed by a domestic terrorist than sailing around the world in a 4 foot dinghy.

More self grievance stroking.

 

But please do tell us what ‘sexual rights’ you are being denied.
