Rose Montoya exposes breasts during White House Pride party after meeting Biden
Transgender activist and model Rose Montoya has faced criticism after footage emerged of her lifting her top and cupping her breasts at the White House during a Pride event on 26 June. The video clip, which Montoya shared with her 103,000 Instagram followers, shows her partially exposing her breasts in front of the Truman balcony with a Pride flag in the background. However, Montoya defended her actions, stating that being topless is legal in Washington, DC and that she covered her nipples to avoid breaking any laws. She also stressed that her actions were not intended to be “vulgar” and that they were simply a celebration of her body and identity.
Montoya was invited to the White House as part of Pride celebrations, where she had the opportunity to meet President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. The event drew criticism from conservative quarters, with some accusing Montoya of grooming young people by promoting public nudity. Montoya responded to these claims by arguing that her actions did not constitute public nudity and that those who attacked her were attempting to delegitimize transgender identity.
The Pride event at the White House also drew criticism from veterans groups, who accused the Biden administration of demeaning the American flag by displaying a Pride banner at the center of a display of flags. Congressman Cory Mills argued that the Pride flag should not be displayed on equal footing with the US flag and accused the administration of ignoring flag etiquette.
