Trans activist apologizes for topless display at White House Pride event

Trans activist and model Rose Montoya apologized for going topless at a White House Pride event, acknowledging the impact of her actions and the criticism she received. The Biden administration banned Montoya and the others in her video from future events at the White House. The incident sparked a right-wing media firestorm and was used to launch broader criticism of the trans community. Montoya vowed to continue her advocacy efforts and promote empathy, equity, inclusion, and understanding. The backlash comes at a time when the LGBTQ+ community in the US is facing an increasing number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills and protests.
