President Trump declined to officially recognize June as LGBTQ Pride Month, marking the second year in a row that he has done so.

Trump issued a series of proclamations for June, including Great Outdoors Month, National Ocean Month, National Homeownership Month and African-American Music Appreciation Month.

But, unlike under former President Obama, the White House did not formally acknowledge the month as Pride Month. Former President Bill Clinton was the first to recognize it, but former President George W. Bush did not.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did issue a statement recognizing “LGBTI Pride Month,” similar to former Secretary Rex Tillerson’s statement in 2017.

2. His Typical Cowardly Stripes

He dare not offend his evangel, puritanical, fascist base by acknowledging bigotry and discrimination against the “other”.

Rather than take an inclusive posture, he hides behind others’ in his administration to issue lukewarm statements of dubious support. The beast in office couldn’t be more repugnant.
