Dec. 4 (UPI) -- President-elect Joe Biden called for a "new era of LGBTQ rights" Friday as he congratulated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for receiving an award from the LGBTQ Victory Institute.
Biden participated in the institute's panel on the 10-year anniversary of the repeal of the so-called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that for years prevented LGBTQ Americans from serving openly in the U.S. military.
