While these individuals may think they're only expressing displeasure with me, they are hurting the thousands of LGBTQ Pa'ians who suffer directly from demonstrations of harassment.
To perpetrators of these actions, if apologies are sincerely given, then I accept your apologies

An apology is beginning of the conversation. I call on you + all Pa'ians to work towards spirit of not just tolerance, but acceptance toward LGBTQ individuals.
We need to foster spirit of acceptance + welcoming to LGBTQ individuals + celebrate wonderful diversity of our state.

I have no room in my heart for hatred and frankly, I do not have time for intolerance.
My heart is full with a burning desire to help people + my time is full working toward protecting the public health of everyone in PA from #COVID19.
I will stay laser-focused on that goal.
