AP: In US, Pride Month festivities muted by political setbacks
It’s Pride Month, and gay Americans should have a lot to celebrate: A new president who has pledged to advocate for LGBTQ people, an easing of a pandemic that has disrupted their communal activism, and increasing public acceptance of their basic rights, including record-high support for same-sex marriage.
President Biden has been very vocal in acknowledging Pride Month. His Twitter background even reads, “Happy Pride Month.” Yet Republicans are doing their best to try and set the movement back decades.
