Again— @HillaryClinton Hillary Rodham Clinton was the first woman to be elected President of The United States of America. She won. Her opponent cheated and committed crimes to “win”. I will have a broken heart about this for the rest of my life. 💔

A quick story about Leslie Jordan. @thelesliejordan (1) He was gifted, hilarious, generous, deep and filled with a full range of humanity. The night before I came out of the closet, I spent a fabulous evening in NYC with Leslie Jordan. He knew what the next day held for me.

TWELVE YEARS today. I made my decision to come out of the closet in 2006 the morning after I didn’t end my life. That morning, I began writing my book & building a team of people to help me come out in a way that allowed me to tell MY story, MY way. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I will never get over the fact that @HillaryClinton should’ve been our president. @realDonaldTrump cheated on several levels; including but not limited to conspiring with a hostile foreign power which in any other contest or local school bake-off, would’ve negates his “win.”

President Trump is making Dr. Deborah Brix his “star”. It’s also his way of knocking Dr. Fauci down a notch. It’s all a game show to him, folks. (Also, the whole “by Easter Sunday” thing is a way to control Evangelical Christians; his way of challenging their faith (in him)

Agree w/you, @ChrisWillman . I was mentioned in the piece, so I’ll weigh in. I think it was awful of @nytimes to publish. Triggering for me to read— not because the writer mentioned my nearly ending my life— but seeing a public person’s sexuality being discussed is upsetting.

Ho-ly Shiiiit. I think I’m about to cry — Tears of relief, of hope, of patriotism, of justice. I’ve been so worn down by 3+ years of gaslighting. Could this be the historic moment many of us have been awaiting? #sondlandtestimony #EverybodyKnew

I’d been in Nashville 2 years when this aired in 1991. I recall seeing it and I remember exactly how I felt as @Oprah & @DollyParton discussed the “bad” rumor— the “gay” rumor. My fears affirmed, I tripled down on my efforts to hide. I signed my record contract in 1993

In 1991, Oprah asked @DollyParton what she thought of all the gay rumors...here's how she responded.... #DailyDolly

Every night, after I close the boys' door for bedtime, they call me back in. • Another hug & kiss • A drink of water • A question about outer space • An issue w/ a pillow Last night, when I went back in, Everett said this, "Mama, don't you ever forget how much I love you."

I’ve stopped asking myself why people won’t get a vaccine if getting it would protect others; primarily children. I’ve stopped asking question because I know the answer*. Answer * See Sandy Hook * See the cages on the border * See Flint Michigan

Me too, @soledadobrien . I will never forget watching one of the 2016 debates in which Trump said something about @Rosie . I expected it from him because he’s a disgusting human, but when the audience laughed at his remark, I gasped & my heart broke. I knew then we were in trouble.

The President is disgusting and racist, but it’s the people in the audience who break my heart. Cheering bigotry. Shamelessly. Whew. That’s a tough thing to swallow. Gotta tell you.

Gay Christian here. Also married. Also a parent. Also an American. Also a tax-payer. Are you really telling me that God sees my sexuality differently than yours? You think God didn’t have a deliberate, intentional plan for me when I was made? You think God messed up?

Mayor Buttigieg says he’s a gay Christian. As a Christian I believe the Bible which defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized. The Bible says marriage is between a man & a woman—not two men, not two women. 2/3

My friend @jannarden is and always has been a miracle to me. She held my hand and stood by me when I was at my lowest point and she does the exactly the same for me when I’m soaring high. I love you, Dear Jann. Xoxo

Okay, it’s official. Our household is on lockdown. No one leaves and no one enters. We are all vaccinated to the hilt, yes, but we will not be part of contracting or spreading another variant. #NYC #lockdown

Right before I took the boys to meet the school bus, George grabbed his iPad. It seemed urgent. George: Mama, I’m setting a timer for 29 minutes. Me: Okay. Why? George: When time’s up and it rings, you’ll think of me. (29 minutes later: having my coffee, it rings. I did. ❤️)

Everett: How long was I in your tummy & when did I come out? Me: Well, let’s see. I got pregnant in late October so (holding up fingers, counting months aloud) Like 7.5 months. Everett: May? Me: Yeah, May 18th. Everett: Mama, how cool is it that I was born on my birthday?!

After watching the horrific performance and lies by the current occupant of the White House with @GStephanopoulos yesterday, I decided that today would be a good day to remind America why I am voting for @JoeBiden . I hope you will watch.

Most are citing cherry-picked Bible verses— many taken out of context— and slinging their half-baked ideas that they heard from their parents who heard it from their preacher who heard it from his parent’s preacher back around the time cars were invented.
