**Statement on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month **

*June 1, 2019 *

As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invites all nations to join us in this effort!
