Pictures: Transgender Tiktoker and influencer, Rose Montoya, goes topless during pride celebration at the White House.
Going topless in DC is legal, and I fully support the movement to free the nipples,” she said.
“Why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off? However, before coming out as trans, it was not,” she added, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it would also be a breach of decorum for a man to remove his shirt at an executive mansion function.
Montoya grew up the daughter of a pastor in a “small farm town in Idaho,” according to her website.
Transgender model and activist Rose Montoya invited controversy Saturday when she pulled down her top at a Pride celebration on the White House South Lawn after shaking hands with President Biden.
Before putting on the half-naked display, Montoya shook hands and talked with Biden. LGBT individuals are among “the bravest, most inspiring people I’ve ever known,” Biden said in his address. Montoya grabbed a selfie video with the president as well.
“I had the honor of attending White House Pride, the largest one in history where the pride flag flew for the first time,” Montoya, who started transitioning in 2015, wrote in the caption on the Instagram video. “This is trans joy. We’re here at the white house unapologetically trans, queer, and brown.”
In response to backlash, Montoya clarified in a followup video that “going topless in DC is legal.”
I fully support the movement to free the nipples,” Montoya said. “Why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off? However, before coming out as trans, it was not. All you’re doing is affirming I’m a woman. For some reason, people like to sexualize women’s bodies and say that they are inappropriate.”
The president invited thousands of guests to the festivities, including singer Betty Who, an LGBT activist who identities as queer and gave a special performance on Saturday.
