President Joe Biden's administration is widely considered to be the most pro-LGBTQ in history, and as he enters his final months in the White House, Biden sat for an historic interview with one of the country's oldest LGBTQ news outlets.
In a wide-ranging interview published Monday in the Washington Blade, a D.C.-based LGBTQ newspaper founded more than half a century ago, Biden reiterated his commitment to the community while also speaking broadly about former President Donald Trump's policies regarding the LGBTQ community and sharing his views on Project 2025. The interview is the first time a sitting president has spoken exclusively with an LGBTQ newspaper, according to the Blade.
"Most of the openly gay people that have worked with me, that I've worked with, the one advantage they have is they tend to have more courage than most people have," Biden said.
Biden said the emergence of LGBTQ representation in government is a reflection of America itself, and he praised the recent primary victory of Sarah McBride, a state senator from his home state, Delaware, who is poised to become the first transgender member of Congress. "We're on the right track," he said of McBride's victory.Read the Full Interview at The Washington Blade
