She chose to support #lgbt in a time of extreme distress and terror for us.

I grew up in Orlando. I was an activist who tried to create a safe space in the gay neighborhood of Pulse.

A leader reads the fucking room. A leader comforts. A leader listens. A leader puts the needs of marginalized communities over her own desires for power.
A leader shows up. A leader steps in as Mom when we need her to. Let me tell that gays needed her that day. orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/…

PS: I wore this old shirt around Vermont for a week after Pulse. I wish we could have made it safer for you youngs. We did try. Never forget that Hillary and Bill Clinton helped us when no other electeds ever had.
