A quick story about Leslie Jordan. @thelesliejordan

(1) He was gifted, hilarious, generous, deep and filled with a full range of humanity.

The night before I came out of the closet, I spent a fabulous evening in NYC with Leslie Jordan. He knew what the next day held for me. (2) Before we parted, he said, “I’m gonna get up early tomorrow morning and watch you come out of the closet on the @TODAYshow, you gorgeous lesbian! And I’m gonna give you some good advice tonight. Are you ready?”

I replied, “Yes. What’s your advice?”

1. There’s a big conversation in Nashville/Country Music right now and I’d like to weigh in. 2. They’re going to tell you that you’re being a victim.

Hey Gentlemen of the @GOP,

Be careful as you push legislation to force women into continuing pregnancies against their will because you think life begins at conception.

You know what else contains living material?

Your ejaculate.

You better not spill that seed.

#BackOff Yep, I said “ejaculate”.

And fellas, we women are going to start having public discussions about your reproductive parts, but we will no longer refer to your genitalia with terminology that dances around your ego & sensitivity. We’ll be very specific. See how you like it?

Hi. It’s me again— the lesbian country music singer that won’t shut up about being gay. If you happen read any Tweet of mine in the course of your lifetime, please let it be this one. So @Franklin_Graham is going on and on (again/still) about how members of the LGBTQ community cannot be real Christians unless we repent and change our ways; because he’s taking a swing at @PeteButtigieg, a candidate for President.
