We have recently ended a campaign with terrible hatred expressed towards transgendered people by a candidate, now in office, who works with allies who deny their very right to exist. Sam’s death is a product of a society that accepts hatred.

Republicans are doing this because they want gay men and transgender women to contract HIV. They believe that dying of AIDS is a deserved punishment for having gay sex, just as they think that forced childbirth is a deserved punishment for sexually active women. This is not especially complicated.

The Trump Administration wants to undo generations of progress in addressing racial discrimination against Black people. No matter what, we will always fight for a version of “We the People” that includes everyone.
