i want to make sure that we all feel represented. that is so important. it s really exciting to see the expansion of what the american story is. this is what democracy looks like! i m here doing what i m cog because of all of those generations before me. gay history, lgbtq history, is not a straight line. it s three steps forward and two steps back, sometimes. but in many ways it s part of what makes america great. this movement is about creating an america that actually is the stuff of our dreams. every human being really having liberty and justice. and peace and joy and love. without threat. in media, in business, in communities, in families across the country, lgbtq americans are woven into all aspects of society. something once unimaginable
i think the 1993 march was about saying, we are americans. we are part of this country. we are proud of it. and we want access and respect. i stand with you in the struggle for equality for all americans, including gay men and lesbian americans. out of the aids crisis, it became very clear that there were things we needed as lgbtq people if we were going to be part of the full american community. we needed to be accepted into the military. we also needed to be allowed to marry. without those things, we were never be full and equal partners in the american dream. and for the first time ever, there was a president in office who, as a candidate, promised action on aids and lgbt equality on his way to the white house. we can t afford to waste the capacity, the contributions, the hearts and souls and the minds of the gay and lesbian american body. for a gay american to see
posted. msnbc said people bought into the jussie smollett narrative that trump supporters are stalking black people around america seeking to harass them. when a story is too perfect to be true, it usually is. this is one of those cases. the real question is why hate crimes in new york, which have been up dramatically, have not been covered. dana: we have some numbers to show. in new york in 2018 attacks were 186 last year. across the nation. 938 in 2018 alone. that to me seems like a national emergency. if you re going to look at the groups most targeted on a per capita basis, jews are twice as likely as african-americans to be targeted. twice as likely as gay americans. the idea that the real threat when it comes to hate crimes is largely directed against blacks
student if the parent s students are participating in, supporting or condone, sexual immora lirli. it asks parents to embrace biblical family values such as a healthy marriage between one man and one woman. christian school s private organizations have a right to have their views, but this decision being made as we head into a reelection campaign. number one, the trump campaign has to know this is making a statement, a statement that the christian conservative base will applaud, but a statement that young americans, gay americans who are more tolerant of these issues, they don t like this in the administration. it is a statement, correct? everything the first and second family do are viewed from people across the country as a model to look up to. i think there are some people who are proponents of christian education who would say, yeah, but not this kind.
will have a very bifurcated legacy in this country. donald trump in some ways is going to destroy institutions and norms that are going to take years to repair. our standing in the world, our norms of civility at home. but i think a second legacy of donald trump that he did not intend is the reactivation of citizenship in this country. what about those citizens who voted for donald trump or maybe would have voted for bernie sanders who also feel that they ve just been left out. they may not feel the same way as african-americans whose homes are under valued or gay americans who don t feel they ve got rights or women who don t feel like they re getting equal pay or immigrants who are being shunned at our borders. but they also feel left out. they did their jobs. they worked in factories. the factories closed. they ve got opioid crises and they re mad, too. did they fit into that group of people who get angry and say we want to take our power back? in that movement, there are two str
