The World Pride Parade took over the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday in what was self-regardingly hailed as “a global celebration of 2SLGBTQIA+ culture and identity.”
Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp was there and was approached over what she makes of President Donald Trump’s administration and its relationship with the 2SLGBTQIA+community.
A reporter asked, “Renee what’s your reaction to the administration’s anti-trans bills,” and she responded “They can fuck off.. they can die.”
On his first day in office, Trump authorised executive orders that declared the federal government would recognize only two genders — men and women, as Breitbart News reported.
His stated aim was – and remains – defending women from “gender ideology extremism” and making it clear that “basing federal policy on truth is critical” for the health of the nation.

Another mass event is planned for Sunday at noon down the National Mall, when rally-goers will march from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol.
The event ends at the street festival where the closing ceremony and concert will be held.
