This is a news story itself.
Reporting on THIS is going to help connect the dots between the rhetoric, the legislation, and the violence.

Perhaps some self-reflection on how your continued attacks on our LGBTQ loved ones and their families might have contributed to this outcome would be an excellent start.
We donโt need prayers. We need the relentless attacksโlegislative and otherwiseโto end.
Now.
We still say gay.
We still say trans.
We still say Bi+.
We still say lesbian.
We still say LGBTQ+.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
In case anyone was wondering ๐งก๐

Today, Marsha "Pay it No Mind" Johnson would have celebrated her 76th birthday.
Thank you for your pioneering activism and strength in the fight for liberation and justice. Rest in power and may we keep the torch burning for you in this fight, Marsha ๐งก๐๐โค๏ธ

โin my youngestโs eyes, I saw the reflected joy, the realization that her beloved older sibling could exist in a world โwhere they can find love and acceptance for who they are,โ she told us. It was invaluable, that moment, and worth every curse wordโ โค๏ธ๐๐ผ
We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our founder, Jeanne Manfordโs, birthday today. In 1972 she marched by her sonโs side. 9 months later,
@pflag
was born.
We are grateful to the mother of this movement of parents, families, and
#LGBTQ
allies!
Thank you
@GeorgeTakei
! Weโre grateful to you for sharing this (and about a million other things but weโll start with this!). โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ Happy
#Pride

Coming out should always be received with love and acceptance, but for many that isnโt the case. Iโm
#PFLAGProud
to support
@PFLAG
and
@Verizon
to let people know that no matter how much time has passed, it's never too late to call back.

MUST WATCH: Brandon Boulware, the father of a transgender daughter, testifies during a hearing asking Missouri lawmakers to stop discriminating against trans youth.

No matter how forcefully anyone says otherwise:
Trans people exist.
Trans people deserve love.
Trans people are beautiful.
And we wonโt stop saying it or doing the work needed to create a more loving and accepting world for them, besties ๐งก๐๐โค๏ธ

Such an amazing team here in Austin for our hearing in PFLAG v. Doe challenging Texasโs directive to investigate loving families of trans adolescents. We will always be here fighting for our beautiful trans family.
Let's be clear:
#Trans

For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family. Weโre overjoyed to share that weโve become parents! The process isnโt done yet and weโre thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us. We canโt wait to share more soon.
It's midnight. The House is adjourned!
#SB29
did NOT make it through the
#TXlege
. Thank you to all of our allies who helped
#ProtectTransKids
and make this possible.
A small step was taken with today's guilty verdict in the
#GeorgeFloydTrial
, but the sad truth is that nothing will ever return
#GeorgeFloyd
safely to his family, or make it possible for him to hug his child Gianna.
@Davidcraycra
David you have an entire community behind you that supports you just as you are. PFLAG is here for you. DM us if you need any support and we will do our best to help ๐งก๐

@SenateCommerce
Committee for their vote of confidence in me today. I look forward to working with
@SenatorWicker
,
@SenatorCantwell
, and the rest of the committee as we get to work on infrastructure and building our economy back better.
This is what happens. Devastation and violence.
It starts with words, and continues to lead here, every time.
Book bans.
Donโt say gay.
Violent protests at Pride.
Bans on care for trans kids.
Hundreds of pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
It always leads to this.
Donโt forget, besties: Everyone has a sexual orientation. Everyone has a gender identity. If anyone wants to remove those from history, the books will be empty. ๐๐ข
Today kicks off
#nonbinary

To our nonbinary loved ones know that, yes this week, but all other weeks we see you and love you for exactly who you are ๐๐ค๐๐ค
