Trump Administration Declines Pride Month Proclamation Amid Policy Shifts

News summary

President Trump announced that his administration will not issue a proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month, a departure from previous Democratic presidents who formally acknowledged the month. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that while there are no plans for such a proclamation, the president is proud to serve all Americans regardless of race, religion, or creed. This stance aligns with other Republican efforts, such as Congresswoman Mary Miller's resolution to designate June as Family Month, which rejects Pride celebrations and emphasizes traditional family values. The Trump administration has taken actions perceived as opposing LGBTQ+ rights, including renaming a ship honoring gay rights icon Harvey Milk and criticizing policies supporting transgender athletes. Critics argue these moves represent a broader political hostility towards the LGBTQ+ community, contrasting with Trump's earlier 2019 social media acknowledgment of global efforts to decriminalize homosexuality. The decision sparked cultural backlash, with figures like Stephen Colbert publicly condemning the administration's refusal to honor Pride Month as lacking inclusivity and humanity.
