For generations, LGBTQI+ Americans have summoned the courage to live proudly – even when it meant putting their lives at risk. This Pride Month, we recommit to realizing the promise of America for all, to celebrating LGBTQI+ people, and to taking pride in the example they set.

My message to LGBTQI+ Americans: We see you. We hear you. And we celebrate you. Happy Pride!

To the entire LGBTQI+ community – especially young trans Americans – know that your president and my entire Administration have your back. We see you for who you are: made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support.

In a Healio #GI exclusive, #LGBTQIA+🌈advocates Alex Goldowsky, Howard T. Lee MD FAST, Nikki Duong, M.D., Matt McNeill, MD & Laura Targownik spoke on: 👉🏻promoting a safe & open environment 👉🏻importance of addressing #sexualhealth 👉🏻steps needed to advance education & training Rainbows in Gastro
