美利坚合众国总统公告
2021年男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿骄傲月

2021年6月1日 
1969年6月在石墙酒吧（Stonewall Inn）发生的反抗激发了一场自由解放运动——那一行动号召在继续激励我们兑现我们的国家承诺，实现对所有人的平等、自由与公正。骄傲月是一个回首男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿等(LGBTQ+)群体所历磨难的时刻，是一个为那些以勇敢的斗争——和继续的斗争——来争取完全平等的先驱者的胜利而欢呼的时刻。骄傲月既是集体对公开现身的欢庆，也是个体对自身价值与尊严的赞颂。值此骄傲月，我们表彰全美各地LGBTQ+人士作出的宝贵贡献，并且重申承诺，在LGBTQ+美国人与偏见和不公的持续斗争中，我们与他们站在一起。
自石墙事件以来，美国的LGBTQ+群体取得了长足进展。最高法院近年来的历史性裁决推翻了落后的法律，确认婚姻权利平等，并且使LGBTQ+人士在所有州和属地的工作场所受到保护。《马修·谢泼德和小詹姆斯·伯德防止仇恨犯罪法》（Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act）扩大了对仇恨犯罪的定义，使之包含针对性别取向或性别认同的犯罪行为。如今，在几乎各级政府中都有LGBTQ+人士——在市政厅、州议会、州长官邸以及国会大厦和本政府各部门。在我任命的1500位官员中，有将近14%的人表明是LGBTQ+身份，令我尤其荣幸的是担任运输部长的皮特·布蒂泽吉（Pete Buttigieg），他是成为内阁成员的第一位公开的LGBTQ+人士；以及第一位得到参议院确认担任卫生部助理部长的公开的跨性别人士雷切尔·莱文（Rachel Levine）。
尽管有所有这些进展，但是，许多州仍然缺少对LGBTQ+人士在医院、学校、公共住房以及其他场所的基本权利和尊严的保护。我们国家继续看到对有色人种跨性别女性的暴力攻击的不幸激增。LGBTQ+人士——尤其是违抗性或性别常规的青少年——在学校受到霸凌和骚扰，面临超常的自残和自杀风险。有些州无视我们国家的共融和人人享有自由的价值观，采用歧视性法律，着力打击跨性别的年轻人。
我们国家也继续存在可悲程度的对跨性别人的暴力，尤其是对有色人种跨性别女性。我们仍然受着像奥兰多（Orlando）脉冲夜总会（Pulse Nightclub）这样的悲剧的折磨。要结束对LGBTQ+群体的暴力和歧视，我们就必须继续作出专注和不懈的努力。我作为总统，致力于捍卫所有LGBTQ+人士的权利。
本政府正在采取历史性行动，旨在使LGBTQ+家庭最终得到完全平等。我在上任的第一天签署行政命令，责成联邦机构全面实施所有相关联邦法律，禁止基于性别认同或性取向的歧视。因此，联邦政府已经采取措施，防止在就业、医护、住房、借贷以及教育等方面歧视LGBTQ+人士。我还签署了一项行政命令，明确规定所有合格的美国人都能够在美国武装部队服役——包括爱国的跨性别美国人，他们再次可以骄傲和公开地从军效国——以及一份《国家安全备忘录》（National Security Memorandum），承诺支持在海外服务的LGBTQ+联邦雇员。本政府也正努力在海外促进和保护LGBTQ+人权。LGBTQ+权利是人权，这就是本政府之所以重申美国的承诺，支持世界各地站在平等和民主运动第一线的人，他们往往冒着巨大风险。我们看见你们，我们支持你们，我们在你们的勇气的激励下，不实现完全平等决不罢休。
虽然我对本政府推进保护LGBTQ+群体的进展感到骄傲，但是，不到最终实现LGBTQ+美国人的完全平等并定为法律，我不会停步。正因为如此，我继续呼吁国会批准《平等法》（Equality Act），以便确保全国各地LGBTQ+人士和家庭的公民权利受到保护。正因为如此，我们必须看到正在出现的挑战，例如，许多一生受歧视和受压迫的LGBTQ+老年人，如今形单影只，需要得到帮助和老年照顾。
在LGBTQ+骄傲月，我们赞赏许多人所展现的为过自由和真实的生活而斗争的坚韧和毅力。他们通过这些努力，打开了人们的心胸，为使美国更加公正和平等奠定了基础。值此骄傲月，我们申明，我们有义务维护所有人的尊严，并要为保护我们当中最易受伤害的人贡献力量。
为此，我，美利坚合众国总统约瑟夫·拜登（JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.），谨以宪法和法律赋予我的权力，特此宣布2021年6月为男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿骄傲月。我吁请美国人民表彰LGBTQ+群体的成就，弘扬美国人民的伟大多元性，并高挥他们的骄傲旗帜。
我谨于公元2021年，即美利坚合众国独立第245年之6月1日，亲笔在此签名为证。
约瑟夫·拜登

A Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month, 2021
JUNE 01, 2021 • PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS
The uprising at the Stonewall Inn in June, 1969, sparked a liberation movement — a call to action that continues to inspire us to live up to our Nation’s promise of equality, liberty, and justice for all.  Pride is a time to recall the trials the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) community has endured and to rejoice in the triumphs of trailblazing individuals who have bravely fought — and continue to fight — for full equality.  Pride is both a jubilant communal celebration of visibility and a personal celebration of self-worth and dignity.  This Pride Month, we recognize the valuable contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals across America, and we reaffirm our commitment to standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.
The LGBTQ+ community in America has achieved remarkable progress since Stonewall.  Historic Supreme Court rulings in recent years have struck down regressive laws, affirmed the right to marriage equality, and secured workplace protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in every State and Territory.  The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act broadened the definition of hate crimes to include crimes motivated by sexual orientation or gender identity.  Members of the LGBTQ+ community now serve in nearly every level of public office — in city halls and State capitals, Governors’ mansions and the halls of the Congress, and throughout my Administration.  Nearly 14 percent of my 1,500 agency appointees identify as LGBTQ+, and I am particularly honored by the service of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve in the Cabinet, and Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate.
For all of our progress, there are many States in which LGBTQ+ individuals still lack protections for fundamental rights and dignity in hospitals, schools, public accommodations, and other spaces.  Our Nation continues to witness a tragic spike in violence against transgender women of color.  LGBTQ+ individuals — especially youth who defy sex or gender norms — face bullying and harassment in educational settings and are at a disproportionate risk of self-harm and death by suicide.  Some States have chosen to actively target transgender youth through discriminatory bills that defy our Nation’s values of inclusivity and freedom for all.
Our Nation also continues to face tragic levels of violence against transgender people, especially transgender women of color.  And we are still haunted by tragedies such as the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando.  Ending violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community demands our continued focus and diligence.  As President, I am committed to defending the rights of all LGBTQ+ individuals.
My Administration is taking historic actions to finally deliver full equality for LGBTQ+ families.  On my first day in office, I signed an Executive Order charging Federal agencies to fully enforce all Federal laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.  As a result, the Federal Government has taken steps to prevent discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in employment, health care, housing, lending, and education.  I also signed an Executive Order affirming all qualified Americans will be able to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States — including patriotic transgender Americans who can once again proudly and openly serve their Nation in uniform — and a National Security Memorandum that commits to supporting LGBTQ+ Federal employees serving overseas.  My Administration is also working to promote and protect LGBTQ+ human rights abroad.  LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, which is why my Administration has reaffirmed America’s commitment to supporting those on the front lines of the equality and democracy movements around the world, often at great risk.  We see you, we support you, and we are inspired by your courage to accept nothing less than full equality.
While I am proud of the progress my Administration has made in advancing protections for the LGBTQ+ community, I will not rest until full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans is finally achieved and codified into law.  That is why I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, which will ensure civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ people and families across our country.  And that is why we must recognize emerging challenges, like the fact that many LGBTQ+ seniors, who faced discrimination and oppression throughout their lives, are isolated and need support and elder care.
During LGBTQ+ Pride Month, we recognize the resilience and determination of the many individuals who are fighting to live freely and authentically.  In doing so, they are opening hearts and minds, and laying the foundation for a more just and equitable America.  This Pride Month, we affirm our obligation to uphold the dignity of all people, and dedicate ourselves to protecting the most vulnerable among us.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
