Pride month inspiration! Way to go Tom Wheeler! 🏳️‍🌈 washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
He wanted to throw an Idaho town’s first Pride. Angry residents had other ideas.

He wanted to throw an Idaho town’s first Pride. Angry residents had other ideas.

Tom Wheeler envisioned a celebratory first Pride for rural Canyon County, Idaho. But in a state that has led the nation in passing anti-LGBTQ laws, the festival quickly sparked outcry.

Thank you @leslieosborn1, your work does not go unnoticed! “This incident has many Oklahomans, including Republicans, reconsidering the power of words to cause harm and what can be done differently to ensure no young person is ever hurt that way again. It’s a conversation that every American should be a part of.” - Leslie Osborn Read 📰⬇️ oklahoman.com/story/opinion/… – at Oklahoma City, OK

In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children.
Jill and I are heartbroken by the recent loss of Nex Benedict. Every young person deserves to have the fundamental right and freedom to be who they are, and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities. Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today. Nonbinary and transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But nobody should have to be brave just to be themselves. In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children. Bullying is hurtful and cruel, and no one should face the bullying that Nex did. Parents and schools must take reports of bullying seriously. My prayers are with Nex’s family, friends, and all who loved them – and to all LGBTQI+ Americans for whom this tragedy feels so personal, know this: I will always have your back...

Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Leslie Osborn (R) calls out State Sen. Tom Woods (R-Westville) for calling the LGBTQ community “filth”: “We are not a top ten state, I don’t believe in gaslighting. We are a bottom five state. Acknowledge the problem.”
