I’m not sure I uld have told you anythg on any of the slis that I lerally had wrten myself.</p><p class="css-8hvvyd">And I fally had to exce myself bee I was so fltered, and I went to the bathroom, and cried, and looked the mirror, and I ma myself — was so paful, I thk, at the time, but I ma myself look the mirror and say the words, “you are a lbian.”</p><p class="css-8hvvyd">And that word, lbian, had so many negative nnotatns and so much pa that that’s what moved me to tears.

Now, for me, what I thought was really important is — as I noted, I thk dividual liberty is so cril and re to everythg that I do, and I thk you n take that same prciple and apply to so many other areas.</p><p class="css-8hvvyd">That would be women’s rights, racial issu, and, of urse, rights for the trans muny, the same way that when I, as the Republin workg for marriage, had a unique role and a unique voice wh both the L.G.B.T. muny to ph back on them sometim and say, wa a mute, you’ve gone too far. This is what policy actually works to bear the nservative prcipl on that si. Then also a role to be played wh the Conservative muny to te people on, OK, you may have been tght this. Here’s a different way to look at that, trag and tn.</p><p class="css-8hvvyd">So I thought we uld do a lot of work to te people on, you know — you mentned bathroom bills.

There’s somethg I’ve been totally fascated by this moment. The Log Cab Republins, the group you disagreed wh on trans issu but which exists and was found to support gay rights, is actually now supportg the “Don’t Say Gay” legislatn.

It only appli to different curriculum and specific thgs that, as they would fe , are thgs that if, you know — no, I don’t thk a five-year-old needs to be told how to have sex wh a male, or female, or anythg like that. That’s ridiculo.</p><p class="css-8hvvyd">But do create an environment that mak impossible for, say, gay teachers or gay parents to be part of that muny, and we know, historilly, how thgs like this turn out. Florida, of urse, is one of the thgs that people talk about the most, but if you look at bills related to trans dividuals and havg C.P.S. go and seize children — I know, as a home-schooled dividual back the day, you uld legimately have C.P.S. lled on you by ncerned neighbors sayg, why are the kids not school?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">lulu garcia-navarro</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">What you’re talkg about is directiv plac like Texas, which basilly say that parents that give their children genr-affirmg re n be reported for child abe and possibly have their child removed om their re?</p></dd><dt class="css-xx7kwh">jerri ann henry</dt><dd class="css-4gvq6l"><p class="css-8hvvyd">Correct, which is the oppose of everythg that I grew up and was tght, that parents should have the ultimate say this.
