"Writing about President Joe Biden’s legacy is difficult without the distance
and time required to assess a leader of his stature, but what becomes clear
from talking with him is the extent to which his views on LGBTQ rights come
from the heart.
Biden leads an administration that has been hailed as the most pro-LGBTQ in
American history, achieving major milestones in the struggle to expand freedoms
and protections for the community.
Meanwhile, conservative elected officials at the local, state, and national
levels have led an all-out assault against LGBTQ Americans — especially those
who are transgender, and especially transgender youth, who face an uncertain
future with Donald Trump promising to strip them of their rights and reverse
the gains of the past four years if he is elected in November.
Biden shared his thoughts and reflections on these subjects and more in a
wide-ranging sit-down interview with the
Washington Blade on Sept. 12 in the
Oval Office, which marked the first time in which an LGBTQ newspaper has
conducted an exclusive interview with a sitting U.S. president."
Via Esther Schindler, who wrote: "Regarding book bans: “These guys want to
erase history instead of make history.”"
