October is LGBTQIA+ History Month. I’m thinking about the people who came before us, the communities that kept going, and the voices that refused to be erased. We inherit their courage. We also have a responsibility to leave a history that the next generation can be proud of. 🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTQHistoryMonth

I have learned that human rights are not only big words used at conferences.They can be very ordinary: being able to visit a hospital without fear, speak to a public officer without being mocked, report violence and actually be heard. For many #LGBT people, these simple things still require courage.

My faith is part of my story. My LGBTQIA+ identity is part of my story too. I don't believe I should have to erase one to prove the other. There is room for faith and identity in the same life. ✝️ #Faith #LGBTQRights

A room full of people celebrating, while an entire community is left wondering what their future will look like. How can punishment become a reason to celebrate? Where is the compassion? Where is the humanity? This is not just a political moment it is about real people, real lives and real families.

For #BISEXUAL people, feeling isolated or unsafe can be deeply painful. Let’s choose compassion over judgment, listen without shame, and remind one another: your story matters, and you are not alone. I believe our communities should be places of refuge, not shame rejection. #SuicidePrevention #LGBT

Religious freedom must never become a shield for discrimination. Faith should guide conscience, not create a license to deny transgender people equality, or protection under the law. No one should have to choose between their identity and their rights.

Trans People’s Identities Have Been Legally Recognized for Over 70 Years. Why Has That History Been Forgotten?
Trans people’s right to legal gender recognition is much older than we realize—older than abortion rights, Alaska’s statehood, and the Civil Rights Act. That history just became common knowledge.

Dignity is found in the everyday things, being respected, having your privacy protected, accessing the services you need, and having spaces where you can belong. For LGBTQ+ people in Uganda, these ordinary things matter. Dignity means being treated as fully human. Always.

I'm so proud of you.

I can hardly imagine the journey you've taken to discover who you are and tell the people you love.
But I suppose it's been a difficult path, and you've came so far.

Please never forget that you are worthy and that you deserve to be loved. You are beautiful in so many ways.

 Stay strong and know that you have allies who truly care x x x I have so much respect for you and really appreciate the difficulties that many are experiencing because of ignorance and an unwillingness to learn about the realities for trans people. 

Sending you my support and every hope that things change for the better.

Healthcare decisions belong with patients, their families, and qualified healthcare professionals not politicians. When lawmakers interfere in private medical decisions, real people pay the price. Bodily autonomy and compassionate healthcare must remain human rights, not political bargaining tools.
