And we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping LGBTQI+ people in America and around the world live free from violence. We condemn the dangerous State laws and bills that target LGBTQI+ youth.

As I said in my State of the Union Address - especially to our younger transgender Americans - I will always have your back as your President so that you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential. My Administration sees you for who you are - deserving of dignity, respect, and support. This month, we remind the LGBTQI+ community that they are loved and cherished.

Members of the LGBTQI+ community - especially people of color and trans people - continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights. Today, the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans are under relentless attack.
