Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged Pride Month in a brief statement on June 1.
Though Teen Vogue portrays the White House as having failed to acknowledge Pride Month, that’s not exactly true. “For the second year in a row, President Donald Trump’s White House left Pride Month out of its list of proclamations declaring June National Ocean Month, National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, National Homeownership Month, and National African-American Music Appreciation Month,” laments Teen Vogue. Remember when the Obama White House lit itself up in rainbow colors in honor of LGBT pride? Well, since the Trump administration will not follow in their footsteps, some on the Left are crying foul.Īccording to Teen Vogue, everyone under the sun, from celebrities to major companies have “already paid homage to the month of LGBTQ+ visibility and celebration” while Trump’s White House has largely remained silent.
