White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre affirmed Biden's support for the transgender community, despite a document from Pope Francis.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced questions about Pope Francis' declaration condemning gender theory on Monday, ultimately affirming President Biden's support for the transgender community. A reporter pressed Jean-Pierre regarding the Pope's Monday document, which formally reaffirms and expands on the Catholic Church's assertion that attempts to alter an individual's immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God.
'm going to be really careful. The president's role to litigate internal Church policy, that's not his role, so I'm gonna be super careful there,' Jean-Pierre said. 'But I can speak to the president's stance, and he's always been very clear on the importance of protecting or having protections for the transgender community and the broader LGBTQ+ community, and that's been very clear since day one of his administration.
