Biden's Pride Month plans impacted by wildfires and book bans.
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden's White House Pride Month celebration, expected to be the largest in history, will be postponed from Thursday evening until Saturday due to the smoke from Canadian wildfires. The party is a deliberate contrast to a cascade of Republican legislation and other attacks targeting LGBTQ+ people. Biden planned an evening celebration of LGBTQ+ families featuring singer Betty Who and Baltimore DJ Queen HD. He was also expected to announce new measures to help schools and LGBTQ kids navigate book bans, community centers fight threats, and transgender youth access better care.
