LGBTQ parade in Washington protests Trump policies
Members of the LGBTQ community have held a parade in Washington to promote the rights of sexual minorities in the face of US President Donald Trump's public denial of their rights.
LGBTQ members and their supporters from around the nation took to the streets in the US capital on Saturday for Pride Month, which promotes the rights of sexual minorities every June.
Trump signed an executive order proclaiming that the US government will recognize only two sexes, male and female. Another executive order rolled back the Joe Biden administration's policies for diversity, equity and inclusion. Trump has been pushing for policies against LGBTQ community in military and sports.
Marchers chanted, "Social equity for LGBTQ," holding rainbow-color flags that symbolize sexual diversity.
One of the participants said they are showing out their love and the parade is resistance to all of the pain and anguish that this administration is inflicting on them.
US society is divided over the LGBTQ rights. Some people feel the Biden administration's diversity policies went too far.
