I really hate to say this out loud but Democrats have got back off on defending trans/ gay communities right now. it's the one thing that uneducated people don't understand and it's the one thing that make people on the fence vote against us.

A pantomime 24 hour speech is not fighting back.
Senator Booker held the floor for 25+ hrs. It was an incredible protest done with candor, strength, & vitality.
The hope that was created on a mass scale will not be mitigated by bullies. We will shout up!
It’s not my journey, but I am not here to hinder theirs.
It’s their fear and prejudice and they must be called out on it.
We maintain our humanity by acknowledging the same for others.
