Angelica Ross has accused the Biden administration of doing the “bare minimum” to protect trans youth in the US, saying “talk is cheap”.

The Pose actor and trans activist reflected on the issues that have affected the queer community over the past year and looked at what lawmakers can do in the year ahead in her LGBTQ State of the Union Address for Logo.

While Joe Biden geared up to make his first State of the Union address, Angelica Ross called on LGBT+ Americans to band together to hold “our communities, our local representatives and our nation’s lawmakers” accountable during “this very critical inflexion point” in US history.

“We are all living through a moment of unprecedented loss, financial hardship and sociopolitical discord,” she said.

“We know these issues disproportionately impact the most marginalised among us, so we need our leaders to be doing more to protect our LGBTQ+ community — but most particularly our Black trans sisters and siblings.”
