Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise drop-in at the Capitol Pride Walk and Rally in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. She walked for about a block and spoke to people along the route. Although she wasn’t there for long, it was enough to turn her into the first sitting vice president to march in a Pride event. During her brief appearance, Harris called for the approval of the Equality Act, and said President Joe Biden’s administration is determined to move forward on LGBTQ+ rights. “We need to make sure that our transgender community and our youth are all protected. We need, still, protections around employment and housing,” Harris said. “There is so much more work to do, and I know we are committed.”
