PolitiFact rated President Biden’s statement during Pride Month that gay people can be legally married and thrown out of restaurants as “mostly true.'
Lawmakers react to a White House video message that declared LGBTQ youth are "all our kids."
"When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America," Biden said. While the claim was heavily scrutinized and criticized when he made it in December, PolitiFact deemed it as"mostly true" based on the fact that 22 states do not have anti-discrimination laws based on orientation."Although it drew criticism, Biden’s illustration is not without factual backing. Same-sex marriage is federally protected, but dining in a restaurant with your same-sex spouse is not," the fact-check reads.
