I had the honor of attending the Vice President’s 2024 Pride Month celebration at the historic Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. The event brought together LGBTQ+ leaders and advocates to celebrate the community's contributions. I reconnected with icons like Lee Daniels, Chasten Buttigieg, Billy Porter, Everton Blair Jr., Andrea Jenkins, and Becky George. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff gave a speech, and RuPaul's Drag Race winner Nymphia Wind also joined the celebration.
