In a passionate statement, First Lady Jill Biden expressed her strong disapproval of former President Trump, labeling him as a “bully” and warning that his reelection in November would pose a significant threat to the progress made for the LGBTQ community.
In Virginia, the first lady addressed the “Equality in Action” event organized by the Human Rights Campaign. She emphasized the advancements made for the LGBTQ community under the Biden administration and expressed concerns about the potential consequences of another term under Trump.
Jill Biden expressed her strong opposition to Donald Trump, describing him as a bully and a danger to various communities, including the LGBTQ community and the country as a whole. She emphasized the need to fiercely fight against him and ensure that President Biden and Vice President Harris secure another term in office.
President Biden has taken several significant steps to promote LGBTQ+ rights during his time in office. One notable achievement is his signing of legislation that provides protections for gay marriage. Additionally, he has reversed a rule implemented during the Trump administration that banned transgender individuals from serving in the military. Another positive development is the relaxation of restrictions on gay and bisexual men donating blood. These actions demonstrate President Biden’s commitment to advancing equality and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community.
“The first lady expressed concern about external forces that are actively working to undermine the progress we have made within these walls,” she stated.
Jill Biden continues to criticize Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee who will be running against President Biden in November. In her recent remarks, she emphasized that Trump is “dangerous to women and to our families,” referring to his stance on abortion and his past comments about women. This is not the first time Jill Biden has spoken out against Trump, as she previously expressed her concerns during a campaign event in March.
Days after the launch of Out for Biden-Harris, a nationwide initiative to engage LGBTQ voters, the first lady expressed her thoughts. The reelection campaign emphasized that the Biden-Harris administration is the most supportive White House in terms of LGBTQ rights. It received endorsements from renowned LGBTQ organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and Equality PAC.
