A: Hey, heard anything interesting lately?
B: Not really, just been catching up on some news. What's up?
A: Oh! So there was a big parade in Washington over the weekend. Guess who it was for?
B: Uh... LGBTQ community right?
A: Exactly! It was Pride Month, they always do something special then. But this time, things are a bit tricky because of President Trump.
B: Tricky how?
A: Well, he's been trying to limit the rights of sexual minorities. He even signed an order that only recognizes two sexes, male and female. And guess what else?
B: Uh-oh, I feel like I'm gonna guess something I don't wanna know...
A: Yup! He also rolled back some of the diversity policies from the Biden administration. Not just that, he's been against LGBTQ rights in military and sports as well.
B: Oh man, that sounds really tough for them. What did they do during this parade then?
A: They chanted for social equity, held rainbow flags, and one participant said it was a show of love and resistance to the pain and anguish they're facing under Trump's administration.
B: Wow, I can imagine how tough that must be. It seems like there's a lot of division in US society over this issue...
A: Yeah, you're right. Some people feel the Biden administration's diversity policies went too far, but I think it's important to stand up for everyone's rights.
