Thanks for taking the time, courage and openness to speak freely about the truth of your reality —

As much as I think in surrounded by allies and members of LGBTQ++ —there are far deeper truths that most of us never hear….rightfulky ao, bc of the response and many worse than what you shared.

We —I want to be a better ambassador, supporter, champion of your rights—and it’s only understanding and acknowledging the full picture of what you are seeing and living.

Barriers are then broken and we can go out and share this story and others’—to help seed empathy and perspective and love—

Burying, ignoring and silencing what we are either uncomfortable or too ignorant to even ask—doesn’t solve any problem.

I am with you—and please keep telling us the transparent truth of how you feel.

May we all do better—more—beyond the voting booth. Let’s inrease public awareness to impact public opinion—which is always what shapes policy,

Well—it’s the fighting chance we have against money and lobbyists which we all know—runs politics. 😏😕😞
