What Does LGBTQ+ Activism Look Like in the Age of Biden? Now that there are allies in the White House, LGBTQ+ activists will adjust their tactics but promise they won’t let up. May 19 2021 1:55 PM EDT Even a change for the better requires a bit of adjustment — including the great change in the nation’s leadership. With Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president, LGBTQ+ political activists are operating in an atmosphere that’s far different from that of the Donald Trump-Mike Pence administration. The White House and federal agencies, once occupied by adversaries, are now full of allies, plus a goodly number of out LGBTQ+ folks. Activists are happy and relieved to have an administration that is so far keeping promises on equality and inclusion, but they’re aware that they’ll sometimes have to nudge it in the right direction.
