President Biden will host the largest Pride celebration in White House history to announce new initiatives aimed at protecting the LGBTQ+ community.
The Biden administration is set to unveil a series offresh initiatives aimed at safeguarding the rights and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community within the United States.
"LGBTQI+ communities face a surge in violence against individuals and community spaces. Federal threat monitoring shows that these threats are increasingly tied to hate groups and domestic violent extremists. LGBTQI+ individuals — especially transgender women and girls of color — have experienced disproportionately high rates of violence and hate crimes for decades," the Biden administration said in a statement.
In Thursday's announcement, the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights will also unveil plans to designate a new coordinator whose primary responsibility will be to combat book bans implemented at the state and local levels.
