LGBTQ plus people and supporters gathered on Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
00:08
D.C. to rally for preserving decades of progress while protesting setbacks under President Donald
00:13
Trump. The rally was held at the site of Martin Luther King's 1963 I Have a Dream speech
00:19
and capped the World Pride celebration. Ashley Smith is a World Pride organizer and president
00:25
of the Capital Pride Alliance Board. This is a rally for our lives. Across this country and across
00:32
the globe, LGBTQI plus people are under siege, especially our trans siblings. The World Pride
00:40
parade passed within one block of the White House grounds on Saturday in one of the final events of
00:45
the week's long experience. We're just showing how many of us there are, our attitude, our courage.
00:51
We're fighting back. We're not going to go away. We will not be silenced.
00:56
Speakers on Sunday criticized Trump for issuing executive orders limiting transgender rights,
01:01
banning transgender people from serving in the armed forces, and rescinding anti-discrimination
01:06
policies for LGBTQ plus people. The White House has defended its dismantling of diversity, equity,
01:11
and inclusion programs, calling DEI a form of discrimination, and said its transgender policy
01:17
protects women by keeping transgender women out of shared spaces.
01:21
Proponents of DEI consider it crucial to correct historic inequities.
01:26
Bianca Sprague, the executive director of TransPride Washington, D.C., denounced the myriad state laws
01:31
around the country targeting trans Americans.
01:34
These attacks are not just legislative. They are deeply personal, inflicting harm, fear,
01:41
and despair upon our community.
01:44
Backers of laws that ban gender-affirming health care for minors say they are attempting to protect
01:49
them from starting on a path they may later regret.
01:52
Washington was chosen as the site for world pride before Trump won the 2024 election.
01:56
The event moves around the globe every two years.
