“Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America
…do hereby proclaim June 2021 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
and Queer Pride Month.  I call upon the people of the United States to recognize
the achievements of the LGBTQ+ community, to celebrate the great diversity
of the American people, and to wave their flags of pride high.”  
– President Joe Biden.

Despite President Biden allowing US embassies around the world to fly the rainbow flag during Pride Month, many demurred.  The Pentagon banned the flag from flying outside of military bases.  The more things change…  And then, out of the blue, everything changed with the single act of a single person.  It helps when that single person is the sitting Vice President of the United States.  Without any fanfare, Kamala Harris (and second dude, Doug) showed up at Capital Pride celebrations in DC.  Just by strolling around wearing a “Love Is Love” tee, waving to people and saying, “Happy Pride”, history was made.  Remember that when you wonder if your voice matters.
