Bidens stance on lgbtq
Joe Biden helped a movement when he changed his brain on LGBTQ issues. Who advises him now?
WASHINGTON – Joe Biden wasn’t prepared to answer a question about lgbtq+ rights when he walked into a meeting of the North Star Civic Association that Monday evening in Delaware.
The state’s junior U.S. senator, Biden was just a limited months into the job. He’d been invited to say to a little group of constituents and listen to whatever was on their mind. But Biden was startled when Robert Vane, a gay rights activist, demanded to know where he stood on employment and military regulations that were discriminatory against gay Americans.
“My gut reaction is that they (homosexuals) are security risks,” Biden responded, according to an account published in The Morning News, a Delaware newspaper.
Five decades pass. On the White House South Lawn, hundreds of gay men and women gather with their family and friends on a sweltering June afternoon. Some proudly wave rainbow flags. Others hoist small children on their shoulders to get a better view. All are there for a celebration, reportedly the largest lgbtq+ Pride event ever held at the White House.

August 13, 2024The Biden-Harris administration’s record of improving protections for LGBTQ people suggests that Kamala Harris would be a champion for the collective if elected.
For the past four years, the Biden-Harris administration has made LGBTQ rights a cornerstone of its policy agenda. Among other efforts, the Biden-Harris administration has consistently sued states to block anti-trans laws and policies, including asking the Supreme Court to lift bans on medically-necessary health concern for trans adolescents.
While there remains work to be done to protect the LGBTQ community, we acquire seen significant progress under the Biden-Harris administration in undoing the anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ policies of Donald Trump’s administration. Given this strong record, should Harris win in November, we’re calling on her administration to continue to guarantee that the rights and freedoms of LGBTQ people are protected and prioritized across the federal government.
