On the role of businesses to support the LGBTQIA+ community: "I think that it is important for businesses to stand up for diversity, equity, and inclusion.The vast majority of businesses vocally support diversity, equity, and inclusion, including for the LGBTQI+ community."

Just took a flight from JFK to SYR for a girlfriends bridal shower on @JetBlue and they left my wheelchair in NYC
So now I'm essentially legless and have lost my independence because I was dismissed by staff at every stage of this flight
Sadly I know I'm not alone. People with disabilities face this every single day while traveling and I'm horrified. In 28 years, Ive never not had my chair
