Joe Biden Names First LGBTQ+ Appointment in Administration
President-elect Joe Biden has officially lined up the first LGBTQ+ appointment of his new administration.
As President Donald Trump signals he will cooperate with the transition, the incoming POTUS announced on Friday that Carlos Elizondo would step into the role of White House Social Secretary. Elizondo served in a similar role during the Obama administration: For eight years, Elizondo coordinated the schedules of Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, as the vice presidential office’s residence manager and social secretary, in addition to planning the couple’s events and public engagements.
The appointment makes Elizondo, who is married and lives in Washington, D.C., the first Latinx person and second gay man to serve as White House Social Secretary, wherein he will oversee all official White House events. Jeremy Bernard held the post from 2011 to 2015 during Obama’s presidency.
In a statement, Biden claimed that bringing individuals like Elizondo into the new administration “will help deliver the change America needs in these difficult times.”
