Former United States President Barack Obama has been scheduled to deliver a special message during the Pride Live Stonewall Day streaming event this Friday (June 26).
In line with the celebration of the 51st anniversary of the historic Stonewall Riots in 1969, the commemoration will also coincide with the remarkable 5th anniversary of the Supreme Court marriage equality ruling in the case of Obergefell Vs. Hodges, according to Rolling Stone.
Our forever Potus will be followed by special guests and performers including Pride Live board president Dr. Yvette C. Burton, Donatella Versace, actress Cynthia Erick, Ellen DeGeneres, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Christian Sirano, Ke$sha, and others.
Trans advocate and model Genna Rocero is scheduled to host the event.
The third annual Stonewall Day event will be aired on Logo’s Facebook and YouTube pages kicking off at 12:45 PM EST.
It has been noted that all proceeds from the virtual event will be donated to LGBTQ organizations affected by COVID-19.
Meanwhile, on the eve of the Pride Live event, Pose stars Billy Porter and MJ Rodriguez will participate in a three-hour virtual march and rally for the “She’s a Riot” event, in solidarity for the Marsha P. Johnson Institute and LGBTQ people of color.
