Valerie Jarrett
Organized White House Rainbow Lights
by Charlie Spiering 29 Jun 2015
White House Senior Advisor Valerie
Jarrett was one of the mobilizing forces behind the decision to light up
the White House with the colors of the gay
pride movement to celebrate the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage.
According to the Washington Post,
Jarrett worked with gay rights organizations to pay for the display to avoid
using taxpayer money. The idea came from one of Jarrett’s aides who was also
the LGBT liaison in the White House.
When Jarrett approached President Obama with the idea, he
responded, “It’s a great idea if you can get it to work,” she told the Post.
The rainbow lit White House went viral online as onlookers
flocked to snap selfies at the location to commemorate the historic Supreme Court decision.
“Tonight, the White House was lit to demonstrate our
unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the
world,” a White House official explained in a statement. “The pride colors
reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, these colors
celebrate a new chapter in the history of American civil rights.”
