On National Coming Out Day, we celebrate LGBTQIA+ people coming out on their own terms. Whether your journey is joyful, uncertain, or still unfolding, you deserve love, dignity, and belonging. Your truth. Your timing. Your story. You are loved exactly as you are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #NationalComingOutDay #UU
National Coming Out Day graphic with a white background and vibrant rainbow watercolor accents along the right side. Large black text on the left reads, “HERE’S TO THE COURAGE OF BEING YOU.” Below, smaller black text reads, “Your truth. Your timing. Your beautiful, unfolding story.” Bold pink text near the bottom states, “You are loved exactly as you are.” At the top, bright pink text reads “NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY.” On the right, five heart-shaped balloons feature LGBTQIA+ Pride flag colors, including the rainbow Pride, transgender, lesbian, genderqueer, and another multicolored Pride flag. The balloons float together against splashes of pink, orange, green, blue, and purple watercolor, with thin black strings gathered below. A rainbow-colored UUA chalice logo appears in the lower right corner, and “http://UUA.ORG ” appears in bold black text at the lower left.

In 2016, I was the general counsel to the Clinton campaign. In 2022, Trump sued me and others for RICO. The case was dismissed. Trump and his lawyers were sanctioned. Now, they have asked SCOTUS to hear the case. I will never back down. I will never stop fighting. When we fight we win.💪⚖️🗳️

If Donald Trump, with his record of corruption and law-breaking, is not impeached, we might as well strike impeachment provisions from the Constitution. He is the reason they exist and must be implemented.
