President Biden branded the bill as 'hateful' last month, in a tweet that similarly assured members of the LGBT community that his administration would 'fight' to ensure that their rights are protected, especially gay or transgender children that would be affected by the bill.
'I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community - especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill - to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are.
The president, who previously supported a ban on federal funding for schools that were 'encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative' as a senator in 1994, added: 'I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve.'
