“For ninety-nine years, this Confederate statue has stood at the gateway of Lafayette, a symbol of one of the ugliest and most shameful eras in American history,” @MTMLafayette said in a statement. “We celebrate today for all of Acadiana.”

Hey @jason_mraz, you're invited to check out our new sign design! Happy Pride Month from PFLAG Lafayette!

[PFLAG Lafayette @pflaglafayette]

@LaDemos You should be ashamed to have leadership of this party cosponsoring this bill. DISGUSTING.

[PFLAG Lafayette @pflaglafayette]

@LambdaLegal - Louisiana needs you!

[Lamar White, Jr. @LamarWhiteJr]

For the @lademos to have any credibility on this issue, platitudes will not suffice.

State Rep. C. Travis Johnson— a co-sponsor of a hateful bill targeting transgender teens— should resign immediately as First Vice Chair.

If he won't, call a meeting and vote him out.

A gay man in Lafayette was called a slur & told he was going to hell by a woman at a store yesterday.

This morning we received a report of a Pride flag being stolen from a lesbian couple's yard.

It's time to be on the right side of Lafayette's history, @JoshGuilloryUSA.

[PFLAG Lafayette @pflaglafayette]

This is atrocious, but not surprising when leaders endorse & participate in discrimination through their actions & inaction. They damage us the same way someone damaged this sign. Changing hearts & minds starts at the top.

The first Pride was a riot! Watch @KATCTV3 tonight for @LCGTweets Chief of Minority Affairs @carlosharvin passing the buck to Mayor-President @JoshGuilloryUSA about OUR minority community. And get ready for a Pride month that would make Stonewall queens proud.

Reminder: your gender identity DOES NOT impact your right to vote – even if it doesn't match the gender marker on your photo ID.

We worked with @LouisianaTrans on resources to help transgender people vote comfortably and confidently. https://t.co/QgdqWY3ik4 #GeauxVote

[LA Trans Advocates @LouisianaTrans]

More than one-third of #LGBTQ Americans reported some form of discrimination in the last year, including more than 6 in 10 transgender* people, clearly more needs to be done to ensure equal treatment in law and in practice for this community. @amprog https://t.co/lZV401wzfI

Happy #InternationalSafeAbortionDay🧡
We must continue to fight for accessibility and legality for all❗️Keep this in mind when voting on Election Day and remember to #vote NO on Amendment 1🗳 (🎨 @thefive15)

[ACLU of Louisiana @ACLUofLouisiana]

We need to vote like our rights depend on it – take it from the queen diva @BigFreedia! Visit our website for all the information you need to #GeauxVote and make your voice heard. https://t.co/1hMOWZUBjF #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

[ACLU of Louisiana @ACLUofLouisiana]

By encouraging violence against protesters, @RepClayHiggins’ racist and reprehensible comments put peaceful demonstrators at risk. The people of Lafayette have a right to make their voices heard without fear of intimidation or arrest. https://t.co/EWxKg8PaSp

[ACLU of Louisiana @ACLUofLouisiana]

#TrayfordPellerin should be alive today. Instead, a family and a community are grieving the loss of another Black life to police violence. This fight is just beginning and we're not giving up. https://t.co/M8WkMMJqXO #BlackLivesMatter

[LA Trans Advocates @LouisianaTrans]

"We are pleased the Court recognized this irrational rule for what it is: discrimination, plain and simple. LGBTQ Americans deserve the health care that they need without fear of mistreatment, harassment, or humiliation," - @AlphonsoDavid from @HRC https://t.co/QKhxamEV2h

[The Trevor Project @TrevorProject]

Our National Survey, the largest survey of LGBTQ youth mental health ever conducted, shows us how much LGBTQ youth still need our support.

40% of LGBTQ respondents seriously considered attempting suicide in the past twelve months.

"The “Rainbow Wave” is being formed one LGBTQ+ elected official at a time. Louisiana’s Peyton Rose Michelle and West Virginia’s Rosemary Ketchum are the two latest openly transgender women to make history with their election to political office." https://t.co/kRrxzUYkS5
