“LGBTQ+ Victory Institute commends President Joe Biden on leading the most progressive and inclusive presidential term in American history. Under President Biden, LGBTQ+ people have received a record number of federal appointments, including cabinet members, judges and around 14% of political appointments. His dedication to supporting LGBTQ+ communities and championing pro-equality legislation and executive action has created the most inclusive and affirming administration our country has ever seen. And, despite attacks on LGBTQ+ liberties in state governments nationwide, the Biden administration has reinforced its dedication to LGBTQ+ equality through action. We are sincerely grateful for President Biden’s leadership, partnership and service to our nation. We know we have a trusted ally in Vice President Kamala Harris who works tirelessly toward full LGBTQ+ equality.
“Furthermore, we are thrilled at the potential of Vice President Harris becoming the first Black woman presidential nominee for a major party in our country’s history. Vice President Harris is an enthusiastic supporter of pro-equality policies and LGBTQ+ communities. We know that the record-breaking LGBTQ+ inclusivity of the Biden/Harris administration will continue under Harris’ leadership, and the possibility that someone like Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg could be her running mate is monumental. The prospect of a Harris/Buttigieg ticket would be a watershed moment in our decades-long efforts to make all levels of government more inclusive and could be the most historic Presidential ticket ever in our nation.”
– Mayor Annise Parker, President and CEO, LGBTQ+ Victory Institute
