Anyone trying to ignore the fact that Jussie Smollett is BOTH Black & gay need to sit down. This was a racially-motivated homophobic attack. They called him racial slurs AND homophobic ones. He carries BOTH identities and white supremacists made it a point to target both.

OMG!! THIS is why the LGBTQ community continue to fight to be seen and PROTECTED against hate! We ALL have to take this racist and homophobic act of violence very personally! My arms are around you @jussiesmollett. You are loved! variety.com/2019/tv/news/j…

The racist, homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is deeply troubling. Lives are at risk as this divisive, hateful rhetoric continues. We pray for his recovery & await any next steps we can take to support him & the many unnamed victims of these crimes. cbsloc.al/2HET6zo

LGBTQ people of color live at multiple intersections of oppression, too often facing violence compounded by both racism and homophobia. This isn't the America we want to live in. Our thoughts are with Jussie Smollett and all survivors. usatoday.com/story/life/peo…

While the struggle for basic hate crime legislation continues here in Indiana, this horrible attack calls all Americans to stand against hatred and violence in all its forms. advocate.com/news/2019/1/29…

Two bills in the NE legislature would criminalize faith-based counseling as fraud and child abuse. Urge senators to protect religious freedom and parental rights today! bit.ly/2UF3bOw

NE Family Alliance It’s groups like you that give the people of Nebraska a bad name

NE Family Alliance As the wife of a pastor, there is nothing “faith based” about conversion therapy. It’s a form of child abuse.

NE Family Alliance Abuse veiled as “religious freedom”. Are we allowed to stone people since it’s in the Bible? Conversion therapy is a heinous debunked practice. It must end.

NE Family Alliance Did you even read the bills? Stop trying to use fear mongering as a way to push your agenda.

We’d like to thank Patty Pansing Brooks, Senator Megan Hunt, and Senator DeBoer for their efforts to make NE a more inclusive and welcoming place to live. Thank you to everyone who testified in support of LGBTQ+ Nebraskans. Your voices matter. #NELeg
