Around 100,000 gay and bisexual men were arrested between 1933 and 1945. Thousands were sent to concentration camps. Many never came home. German LGBTQ+ activists told me remembrance is more important than ever. #lgbtqhistory #history

Three amendments. One ballot. Healthcare freedoms, voting rights, and marriage equality are headed to Virginia voters this November. Thanks to the leadership of Virginia Democrats and Governor Abigail Spanberger, Virginians get the final say. See you at the ballot box. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

I JUST signed bills to allow Virginians to vote on proposed amendments to our Constitution.โ€จโ€จWe took the next step to protect marriage equality, reproductive rights, the automatic restoration of voting rights, and to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.

We are heartbroken to share that Melissa Vaughn, our former VCPP President, passed away yesterday evening, January 29th, at 4:17 PM. She spent her final hours surrounded by friends and family, being held, loved, and celebrated. Melissa was a fierce advocate, not only for 1/6

Melissa was one of my first friends when I moved back to RVA. She was a mover, a shaker & someone who radically loved radio, her community, & Richmond. When she had cancer the first time I used to bike back & forth to her house dropping off food. All I can do now is miss her. ๐Ÿงก

Happy Pride! Itโ€™s more important than ever to celebrate equality and the right to be who you are! This year Iโ€™m committed to ensuring we have an Assembly that sends voters a constitutional amendment that takes out our noxious gay marriage ban. Itโ€™s long past time. Love is love.

Pride is more than parades. Itโ€™s about visibility, resilience, advocacy, and action. Now more than ever, we must commit to standing up to hatred and bigotry. Equal rights and protections means equal rights and protections for all.

Pride is a celebration, but it's also a call to action. From fighting for marriage equality to defending trans youth today, our communities know: Pride will always be a protest. We honor that legacy this month and every month.
