@netflix’s #HeartstopperNetflix sent me on a weeklong emotional rollercoaster, uncovering unresolved trauma growing up gay and serving under #DADT. I’m sharing my story in @NBCNewsTHINK to show how far we’ve come & how far we have to go for #LGBTQ rights nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ne…

I met George 10 yrs ago—at Chicago Ideas Week. He talked about the ecosystem of universities, laboratories & businesses in Chicago contributing to the clean energy transition. I was new to the city and this was eye opening. He has been a big influence in my life & I will miss him
Today we mourn the passing of a luminary, Dr. George Crabtree, @Argonne Distinguished Fellow who served as director of @JCESRHub. George was an amazing leader, colleague, and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. bit.ly/3XXiTFl

Agreed. Tolerance is not acceptance.

Today is #NationalComingOutDay This is an actual photo of me coming out 18 years ago. I had finished my sophomore year at the @NavalAcademy & felt helplessly alone. I wrote this heartbreaking letter to the unofficial LGBTQ alumni association @USNAout desperate for help (1/6)

What life would this kid have today? What love was lost or happiness missed without the progress we have seen in these past two decades? But more importantly, what kids are still out here “scared shitless” because our society chooses to stigmatize people for being different (5/6)

Today is #NationalComingOutDay. Reach out to your loved ones and remind them you care, because you can’t always know where they’ve been or how they got there, but you can be there now. Act, pray, and vote like you mean it #COINS #ONS (6/6)

I love #Heartstopper and from the messages I have had in the past 12 hours it is clear to me that the show means a huge amount to so many people. I said it has saved lives. I’ve read messages from people telling me it saved their life. Literally. Visibility and equality matters – at Lambeth, London
"That visibility has changed lives." 🏳️‍⚧️ At the UK Parliamentary debate on trans conversion therapy, Labour MP @LukePollard says that Heartstopper's trans representation is saving lives, @Yazdemand ❤️

@LukePollard thank you for defending a trans conversion therapy ban & advocating for the rights of LGBT veterans in the UK! #Heartstopper is such a powerful movement that will have long term positive benefits for the #LGBT community teapawt.net/lukepollard/status/153…
Netflix's popular series "Heartstopper" is a coming of age story about LGBTQ love in a British high school. NBC THINK contributor Dan Misch spoke with @MorganRadford and @VickyNguyenTV about how the show can help LGBTQ viewers with their own trauma. nbcnews.com/now

In the US military, the trans ban needs to be the law. Congress needs to pass @RepBrownley’s HR 4845 & @kaikahele’s HR 5776 for an advisory committee & center for #LGBT veterans in @DeptVetAffairs. Military leaders at all levels need to stand up to homophobic language & behavior!
#COVID Day 10 and I finally get to kiss my husband again tonight. Feels like Christmas! ❤️🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth
My first live TV interview! Thank you @NBCNewsNow @NBCNewsTHINK for helping share the importance of @netflix’s #Heartstopper to the LGBTQ community & beyond! And thank you @AliceOseman for creating such an inspiring show & stories that are out here changing lives 🏳️‍🌈❤️ #PrideMonth

Here is the original OpEd about how watching #Heartstopper helped reveal and heal my repressed trauma. It is helping people all over the world. It shows how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go for equality and acceptance in all places nbcnews.com/think/amp/rcna28…

“LGBTQ people all over the world have been having emotional reactions to Heartstopper. The show has led to a cathartic release of repressed anxiety… it is a communal grieving for the young gay lives we’ll never get to have” @AliceOseman @Heartstopper_TV nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ne…

“We need more shows like Heartstopper, which help to drive a positive dialogue, create more accepting communities and give LGBTQ kids a relatable experience to say it will be OK and that it gets better” @Heartstopper_TV @AliceOseman
