Last night @andersoncooper asked me whether we could pass any laws making our children safer.
I gave him an honest answer. So long as Trump and congressional Republicans are in the pocket of the gun lobby, there's not a chance.

This victory for marriage equality was — and remains — a culmination of decades of advocacy from LGBTQIA+ activists across the nation.
Today and every day, we celebrate this milestone in the movement for LGBTQIA+ equality — and fiercely recommit to the work that still needs to be done.

Schools should empower, not erase. Compulsory heterosexuality pressures students and teachers to conform. By challenging bias, using inclusive language and advocating for #queer representation, we can create affirming spaces. How do you make your school more inclusive? Drop a comment.
