We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Homophobia & transphobia continue to plague LGBTQIA+ youth. No one should have to live in fear. For those of us who are out, we must LIVE OUT LOUD and set the example that a better world is possible. #NationalComingOutDay

Attorney General Letitia James is one of New York’s fiercest leaders. It’s time all New Yorkers who believe in a free and fair democracy stand in solidarity with her. We’ve got her back! ✊
