President Donald Trump has not issued a cancellation of Pride Month, despite facing criticism for his anti-LGBTQ+ policies and the spread of misinformation through a deepfake video. The video, which falsely claims Pride Month is cancelled, is noted to be a manipulated AI creation, without official commentary from the White House. This year, amidst Trump's administration's sentiment that leaves activists concerned, Pride events have faced challenges, notably with decreased sponsorships as a response to anti-DEI pressures. Pride Month remains a historic celebration of the LGBTQ+ community's legacy and fight for rights and recognition.
Despite a false announcement claiming Pride Month is cancelled, Trump has not actively tried to prevent its celebration, even amid ongoing anti-LGBTQ+ policies.
The deepfake video falsely attributed to Trump has sparked confusion, but reports clarify that the current administration has not taken direct action against Pride Month.
