A PROCLAMATN ON LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR, AND QUEER PRI MONTH, 2021
This month, Pri flags are flyg — as some of my iends our last adm- — the Obama-Bin admistratn who are openly gay — they are flyg more than — over 130 U. Pri is a time to rell the trials the Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, and Queer (LGBTQ+) muny has endured and to rejoice the triumphs of trailblazg dividuals who have bravely fought — and ntue to fight — for full equaly. BIDEN JR., Print of the Uned Stat of Ameri, by virtue of the thory vted me by the Constutn and the laws of the Uned Stat, do hereby proclaim June 2021 as Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, and Queer Pri Month.
THE RIGHTS OF LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENR PEOPLE
Gay and lbian people are featured movi and on televisn – not as novelty characters, but as full participants society. In 1992 Colorado enacted Amendment 2, which repealed existg state laws and barred future laws protectg lbians, gay men and bisexuals om discrimatn.
We mt nclu that Amendment 2 classifi homosexuals not to further a proper legislative end but to make them unequal to everyone else.
Durg a typil “raid, ” police tried to arrt people for their mere prence at a gay bar, but the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back – and the gay rights movement was lnched.
GAY RIGHTS VS. FREE SPEECHSUPREME COURT BACKS WEB DIGNER OPPOSED TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Usg many of the grass-roots and ligatn strategi employed by other 20th century activists, gay rights advot have achieved signifint progrs:. Sodomy laws, typilly ed to jtify discrimatn agast gay people, once existed natnwi; they are now on the books only 18 stat and Puerto Ri.
Vlent hate crim, such as the 1998 murr of Wyomg stunt Matthew Shepherd, pict a grisly backlash agast LGBTs or people perceived to be gay.
In 1986, after more than two s of support for lbian and gay stggl, the Amerin Civil Liberti Unn tablished a natnal Lbian and Gay Rights Project.
