The White House is holding a Pride Month event Wednesday, and President Joe Biden’s opening act was his wife, first lady Dr. Jill Biden. We know that Biden is a big supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and maybe even an honorary member. Remember when she painted giant valentine hearts with words like “Love” and “Courage” and “Healing” and planted them on the White House lawn … that was really, really gay.
There’s still plenty of prejudice and discrimination out there, though, as some states are passing legislation banning minors from irreversible “gender-affirming” surgery. Biden named and shamed some of those states in her remarks:
Speaking at a White House pride month event, Jill Biden says "in places across the country like Florida, Texas, or Alabama rights are under attack."

And in small towns and big cities, “kid-friendly drag” shows still lurk. We would love to get Biden’s review of Christina Aguilera’s “family-friendly” Pride in the Park performance where her backup dancers played with her huge green strap-on dildo. Why doesn’t the White House have a similar pride celebration?
Is it July yet so we can celebrate something nice like America's birthday?

Way to win more people over Jill

I wonder how much time she’s spent in the South.

She’s made. Her husband is getting his ass kicked in those states

Thanks for calling out Alabama. I have to wonder if she has ever been to our state. If there was any question as to why we vote Republican, Jill's husband is the perfect answer.

So anyone who doesn't agree with their agenda is a bigot?

Hey Jill, you should write a thesis about it.

She’s just as useless as her husband 🤣

Never fear … he was there too to give his two cents on Pride Month, although he got a little tongue-tied:
