The White House has publicly denounced the actions of trans activist Rose Montoya, who removed her top during President Biden's Pride Month celebration on Saturday. Video footage of the incident quickly circulated on social media, prompting a swift response from the administration.

A White House spokesperson confirmed that Montoya and other individuals involved in the incident will not be invited to future White House events. The statement emphasized that the behavior was inappropriate and disrespectful, and did not reflect the spirit of the event, which was meant to celebrate LGBTQI+ families and the hundreds of other guests in attendance.

Montoya, a transgender TikTok influencer, originally shared the video, which also featured another transgender individual baring their chest on the South Lawn. The White House is visible in the background of the video. Additional footage shows Montoya interacting with President Biden, expressing that "trans rights are human rights."

The incident sparked considerable controversy online, with many criticizing Montoya's actions. In response, Montoya defended her behavior in a subsequent TikTok video, stating that going topless is legal in Washington, D.C., and that she was merely expressing herself and supporting the "freeing the nipple" movement. She stated her intention was not to be vulgar or profane, but rather to live authentically.

While the White House has not officially named all individuals barred from future events, it's clear that the administration is taking the incident seriously. This incident raises questions about appropriate conduct at official events and the ongoing debate surrounding freedom of expression.
