Today is #SpiritDay, and I’m wearing purple to stand with LGBTQ youth in the fight against bullying. It’s no secret that LGBTQ kids are more likely to be abused than their peers. In fact, over 70% report that they are constant victims of harassment. This is unacceptable.
I am honored to be endorsed by such an esteemed group of LGBTQ+ leaders from across Pennsylvania. Their support means the world to me, and I am truly humbled.

October is a time to honor those who blazed trails and broke down barriers, but it’s also a time to recommit ourselves to building a better future for all. Our Commonwealth has a long history of fighting for equality, and that fight is far from over.

(2/2) On this anniversary, let’s recognize a long overdue end to this injustice and continue pushing for a fairer and more inclusive future for all. #DoAskDoTell
