Joe Biden Reacts To Elton John's Onstage F-Bomb With A Simple Hand Gesture
HuffPost
The iconic musician passionately took aim at misinformation about and "senseless scapegoating" of the LGBTQ+ community.
Elton John dropped an expletive as he railed against anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric onstage with Joe Biden at an event in New York on Friday, prompting the president to react with his hands.
“As President Biden has reminded us, today, too, we face one of those seminal moments,” the legendary singer said at the opening of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center in Greenwich Village.
“Do we stand up for our vision and our values, or let misinformation and senseless scapegoating turn back the clock?” he continued. “No fucking way!”
Biden laughed, applauded, and jokingly made the sign of the cross.
The Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center is the first LGBTQ+ visitor center in the National Park Service network. It’s intended to preserve and memorialize the legacy of the Stonewall Inn, the site of the 1969 rebellion that changed the course of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
