We need to protect the members of our community and provide them with basic human rights. We want them to be treated with respect. We want them to be able to get married, we want transgender and non binary people to be able to use the bathroom the right bathroom, we want to stop being assaulted, raped, and murdered because of who we are.
Why is this important?
I have friends who took their own lives because they were bullied, disrespected, and unaccepted by those around them. I cannot hold hands with my significant other in public without being fearful of what might happen to us. Leelah Alcorn made a difference but Donald Trump took that away and erased it. This is an outrage. I am outraged. We are human beings.
