We believe Mr Biden is an ally to our community\, in 2012\, in the midst of what many expected to be a t ough reelection campaign for the Obama White House\, Biden surprised the p olitical world during an appearance on “Meet the Press” by becoming th e first national leader to publicly support same-sex marriage as president the Joe Biden administration issued an executive order that is aimed at p reventing discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orienta tion and prohibiting workplace discrimination in the federal government\, he also signed an order reversing a Trump-era Pentagon policy that largely barred transgender individuals from serving in the military. President Jo e Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his a ssistant secretary of health\, leaving her poised to become the first open ly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.\n  \;\nThe Center will be closed Monday February 15\, 2021\, in observance of the Presidents’ Day Holiday. Our scheduled virtual programs will not be affected\, our phone lines and email lines are closed\, if you would like to join our virtual groups\, please reach out to us prior to Presidents D ay.\nNormal operating hours and programming will resume on Tuesday\, Febru ary 16\, 2021.\n\nEMERGENCY?\nIf you are facing a life threatening situati on or seeking immediate care:\nDC Mobile Crisis: 202-673-9300\nDC Shelter Hotline: 202.399.7093 or 311\nMaryland Mobile Crisis: 240-777-4000\nLocal emergency room\nNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255\nTran s Lifeline: 877-565-8860\nLGBTQ under 25: Trevor Lifeline: 866-488-7386\n LGBTQ National Help Center (all ages – various lines/hours): 888-843-456 4  www.glbthotline.org ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedccenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/ 05/Holiday-Header-1200-x-500.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
