Backlash over the White House “Pride Celebration” intensified Monday after a social media influencer bared his “trans joy” on the South Lawn after snapping selfies with the president and first lady.
The fervor and frequency of hyper-sexualized events geared toward transgender activism being at their zenith in June, President Joe Biden had already angered many with a display that appeared to prostrate the United States to the rainbow jihad.
As it turned out, the flag debacle was just a preview of the deviancy it stands for as 27-year-old Rose Montoya, a man who has undergone several cosmetic procedures to appear like a woman, “unapologetically” disrobed in front of the White House.
Libs of TikTok drew attention to the “disgrace to our country” by sharing Montoya’s video meeting with the president and first lady Jill Biden before posing with a bare-chested woman who had undergone a double mastectomy as the person recording asked, “Are we topless at the White House?!”

Montoya’s original post to nearly 800,000 followers was captioned, “I had the honor of attending White House Pride, the largest one in history where the pride flag flew for the first time. This is trans joy. We’re here at the white house unapologetically trans, queer, and brown.”
As previously reported, Biden had already enraged patriots with the display of the LGBT-etc. standard flanked by Old Glory as it appeared to be a violation of the U.S. Flag Code.

The president had said at Saturday’s event, “We all talk about courage. Well, I see more courage on this lawn than I’ve seen in any time in the recent past. But the thing about y’all is: You not only are about courage. You generate so much hope for people. Hope and light. You enrich every part of American life: educators, entertainers, entrepreneurs, athletes, actors, artists, scientists, scholars, diplomats, doctors, service members, veterans, and so much more.”
“You set an example for the nation and quite frankly, for the world. You know, we all move forward when we move together with your joy, with your pride lighting the way,” Biden continued.
The “lack of class and decorum” displayed by Montoya and others at the event bristled many and reactions poured in referring to the scene as “abhorrent,” “disgusting” and “disgraceful.”
This is disgusting. Representation of a completely failed nation…

Reacting to the backlash, Montoya posted a follow-up video on social media saying, “It has recently come to my attention that conservatives are trying to use the video of me topless at the White House to try to call the community groomers, etc.”
“All you’re doing is affirming that I am a woman,” Montoya continued after defending the legality of toplessness in the nation’s capital. “All you’re doing is saying that trans women are women. Because for some reason, people like to sexualize women’s bodies and say that they are inappropriate.”
