President Biden will join international pop star Elton John at the Stonewall Inn in New York City on Friday to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the first night of riots that led to the modern gay rights movement.

From the New York Post:
The White House had teased that Biden, 81, would be in New York for an “official event” one day after he takes part in the first of two scheduled presidential debates against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump in Atlanta.
Biden appointed the first Senate-approved openly gay Cabinet member, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and in 2022 signed bipartisan legislation that affirmed the Supreme Court’s 2015 legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide.
Additionally, among other pro-LGBTQ actions, Biden repealed Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military in 2021.
