“The behavior was simply unacceptable,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “It was unfair to the hundreds of attendees who were there to celebrate their families.” White House bans trans activist for going topless at Pride Month event:
WASHINGTON — Transgender advocate Rose Montoya is no longer welcome at White House events after posting on social media a video of herself and two others going topless for a time at Saturday's Pride Month celebration on the South Lawn.
Speaking at the White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre said, “Individuals in the video certainly will not be invited to future events." The White House spokeswoman said the bare-chested display “was not a normal thing that has happened under this administration.” Biden said Saturday that he had a message for the entire community, but especially for transgender children: “You are loved. You are heard. You’re understood. And you belong.”
