Excerpt from Lin-Manuel's sonnet, delivered at the Tony's, hours after the #Pulse Massacre 06/12

This show is proof that history remembers,
We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger.
We rise and fall and light from dying embers,
Remembrances that hope and love last longer.

And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love:
Cannot be killed or swept aside!
I sing Vanessa’s symphony, Eliza tells her story;
Now fill the world with music, love and pride.
#LoveIsLove 🖤 🏳️‍🌈

CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

On June 12th, 1967, interracial marriage became a federally protected right as the Virginia v. Loving decision was passed in the Supreme Court. Less than one hundred years ago. The history of our civil rights is still very young. #lovingday #civilrights #interracialmarriage

The City Council observed Pride Month Tuesday night by presenting Unity Conejo with a proclamation celebrating LGBTQ residents and their many contributions to our community. This follows on the Council’s recent unanimous vote to reaffirm our city’s #1 goal of being an “equitable, accessible, safe, welcoming, and inclusive” government and community for all residents.

I am an ally of all who work for inclusion – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, national origin, intellectual or physical ability, or faith.

*This* is how we break the cycle of hatred and intolerance.
