**US** president **Joe Biden** shared a message of support for young LGBTQ+ Americans in collaboration with the **It Gets Better** project which aims to inspire queer youth. In a [video message](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLvFkvU8IFU&ref=scenemag.co.uk), Biden acknowledged that it is a *“tough time”* for LGBTQ+ youth, adding: *“I’m proud of you for being who you are, for being true to yourself. I want you to know that you’re not alone – your president has your back, and lots of other people do as well.”*

He promised that *“it will get better”*, and said the Biden administration is *“committed to advancing equality in the classroom, on our sports fields, at work, in our military, in our housing, in our healthcare system, everywhere, equity.”* Biden’s message comes after he [spoke out in support of trans youth](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/biden-shares-message-of-solidarity-with-trans-youth/) amid the wave of anti-trans bills sweeping the US. On Twitter, he called young trans Americans *“so brave”,* and promised to support them.

He also broke years of silence from the Trump administration by releasing his first official [Pride month proclamation](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/biden-issues-proclamation-in-honour-of-pride-month/), where he said: *“I will not rest until full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans is finally achieved and codified into law.”*
