In 2023, Betty Who performed at the White House during a triumphant Pride celebration hosted by President Biden. This marked her first performance at the iconic venue in her 11-year career. Newham, known for her empowering anthems, feels the stark contrast as she prepares for her 2024 Pride tour amid adverse changes in LGBTQ+ rights under the current administration. The celebration in D.C. has transformed with corporations distancing from Pride, yet the city buzzes with colors for WorldPride. Her tour focuses on Pride festivals rather than an album support.
Betty Who's D.C. performance at the White House in 2023 marked a momentous occasion for LGBTQ+ representation, contrasting sharply with the current administration's hostile stance.
In reflection of her past performance for Pride, Betty Who expresses disbelief at the regression in LGBTQ+ rights and the altered significance of this year's celebrations.
