The exhibit, in partnership with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, featured a variety of artifacts that teach visitors about some of the history of Pride Month and the fight for LGTBQ+ rights in the United States. President Joe Biden has made a commitment to celebrate LGTBQ+ lives for Pride Month, and these colorful lights were just one part of the educational Pride Exhibit featured at the White House. The intent of this, however, was more than just to create an eye-catching display. Last month, lights on the arches lining the Ground Floor of the White House illuminated its hallways with rainbow hues for the first time.
