The @NFL has been a strong partner to @GLAAD for over 12 years. This visible partnership is essential because as LGBTQ people, we don’t get to hide who we are. When the NFL is a visible and vocal ally, it signals to other brands and leaders to do the same. (3/3)

Parents like me want an America where AK-15 assault rifles do not have more rights than people of color or women or LGBTQ Americans. #GLAADAwards

With more than 450 anti-LGBTQI+ bills filed nationwide, including nearly 300 targeting kids, @PressSec says @POTUS "will continue fighting for all Americans and their dignity, because equality under the law isn’t just a slogan, it’s a bedrock principle of our democracy."

So proud of my daughter and the other LGBTQ youth on GLAADS's 20 under 20 who are "building an unapologetic tomorrow for all of us." They are our present and future; we owe it to them to vote for leaders who believe in a diverse and inclusive America. teenvogue.com/story/glaad-20…

.@POTUS says "I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade into law, and if the filibuster gets in the way ...we should provide an exception for this". It's about the "right to privacy - not just abortion rights"

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself. Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Upcoming: @davidcicilline’s #EqualityAct gets a hearing in @JudiciaryDems. This landmark legislation expands federal protections to LGBTQ+ people. At its heart, this bill is about two things: simple kindness and our shared humanity. I’m proud to support it.

“You can’t tell someone that we will honor your identity, we will respect you until 2:30 p.m.—and then we are going to tell you that you are not who you know yourself to be," says @chasestrangio discussing legislation that would ban trans athletes from playing on sports teams.
