Really great news for transgender youth, their families and doctors in Alabama. So impressed by the incredible legal team at @GLADLaw @NCLRights @splcenter @HRC that made this happen.

@bufferingcast “I’m confused by your disdain” says all we need to know about who this person is.

LGBTQ+ kids are watching. On Friday, @ussoccer must vote to ban homophobic chants from all of their games. https://t.co/AOum7YXBDE #BanTheChant

A lot of us are talking about the legal ins and outs of what's going on in Texas with #SB8, but we can't forget that there are people who are going to be devastated by this law—mostly poor people, people of color, LGBTQ people.

It's not going to be wealthy white cis women.

@bufferingcast I want to cry and run away screaming just reading this thread so I really don’t know how you are doing all this and still functioning. You are awesome and I am excited to hear from @amber_benson though I also don’t really know how she is doing this either tbh. 💜

[GLAD Law @GLADLaw]

Thank you @BostonGlobe @KateLusignan for reporting on the emergency situation #LGBTQ youth face in the MA #fostercare system. MA legislators and DCF need to act now to protect these kids. #mapoli

@Micox_85 @MassTPC Congrats on your well deserved award and the awesome shout out from @AyannaPressley @BlackAndPinkMA @MassTPC ❤️

[Black and Pink Massachusetts @BlackAndPinkMA]

We are fighting to decriminalize sex work in MA and our first bill (S992/H1800) has a hearing 10am Tuesday. It will repeal "common nightwalking," used to profile people, esp TWOC and poor people, as SWers. This law facilitates arrests for #WalkingWhileTrans.

@jonlovett Is no one talking about the brilliance of that Frank Kameny reference?

Never has Jocelyn Schitt spoken to me more

Today we are thinking first and foremost of the family and friends of George Floyd, and of their Minneapolis community which has had to endure the nightmare of witnessing the brutal murder of a family member and neighbor, and the additional trauma of this trial.
