We don’t know about you, but 2020 has left us exhausted. The year has been filled with immense loss, sadness and enough chaos to fill a decade’s worth of newspapers.
The year was dominated by a global pandemic, which infected 77 million people and took the lives of more than 1.6 million worldwide; nationwide Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the brutal murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and far too many Black men and women at the hands of police; and a presidential election that saw President Donald Trump do everything in his power to elevate white supremacy and discredit the will of the people as record numbers turned out to vote.

I met Larry in 2015, shortly after I moved to Tampa Bay from San Francisco. At the time, he was serving as a consultant for Family Resources’ LGBTQ Youth Homeless Project initiative, with a particular emphasis on establishing an emergency shelter system for transgender youth.
I was running a social justice organization that worked directly with LGBTQ teens, and we connected on the shared goal to help LGBTQ teens experience safety, stability and self-actualization. I continued to cross paths with Larry, and his wonderful husband David, through various community events and initiatives, as well as our mutual involvement with Equality Florida.
