During the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, a bishop directly addressed President Trump, advocating for compassion towards LGBT+ youth and immigrants. She emphasized the fear experienced by these communities and urged Trump to understand their plight. Despite Trump’s policies favoring strict immigration controls and an executive order limiting gender recognition, the bishop's powerful message sought to remind him of his responsibilities and the trust placed in him by diverse families. Trump's reaction post-service indicated a lack of engagement with these pressing social issues.
"There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives. Millions have put their trust in you."
"They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals."
