…or maybe it's the “Rainbow House”

According to The Washington Blade, President Obama will host a reception on June 24 to commemorate Pride month. Since the start of his administration, POTUS has hosted a pride event each June. This one will be the seventh.

In the past, activists have used the event to put pressure on the president to act on issues concerning the LGBT community. At the first reception on 2009, DOMA was the hot topic. Other times, Don't Ask, Don't Tell and barring federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT employees were the matters in question.

This year's event will happen around the time of the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage.
