Kathy Griffin Says She Fears for LGBTQ+ Community’s Safety Ahead of Pride

Kathy Griffin is urging members of the LGBTQ+ community to remain vigilant as Pride Month 2025 approaches, expressing deep concerns about their safety in the current political climate.

Speaking outside the WeHo Bistro in West Hollywood, Griffin, a staunch ally of the LGBTQ+ community, emphasized the importance of political awareness and active participation beyond just Pride Month celebrations.

Griffin emphasized the need for continuous activism, stating her fear that LGBTQ+ individuals are not safe to simply walk down the street in today’s increasingly hostile environment. She underscored the severity of the current situation in the country.

Concerns further escalated as Griffin accused the Trump administration of relentless efforts to undermine the LGBTQ+ community, warning of dire consequences if action is not taken.

Highlighting the Trump administration’s track record of anti-LGBTQ+ policies, Griffin concluded her remarks by emphasizing the relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ rights orchestrated by the current administration.

Recent actions by the Trump administration, including rolling back protections for transgender individuals and targeting LGBTQ+ rights in various sectors, have further fueled concerns about the community’s safety and well-being.

Griffin’s unwavering stance against the Trump administration, evident in her infamous photo controversy from 2017, underscores her ongoing commitment to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and holding those in power accountable.
