The nation’s capital has been suffering for almost 18 months under harsh coronavirus lockdown protocol but D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser opened up the city just in time for the LGBT annual Pride event.
“Muriel Bowser delivered remarks at the rally, condemning recent legislation in other states’ that’s taken aim at the rights of LGBTQ+ students and calling on D.C. to be an model of acceptance [sic],” the DCist reported.
“We are going to make sure that D.C. is a leader in LGBTQ issues,” Bowser said. “I’ve had the privilege of going literally around the world to tell people that we are the gayest city in America. That requires us to take on that position of leadership to tell other cities what they should be doing.”
