The #initiative faced strong opposition from various #civilrights groups, #educators, and #LGBTQ+ #advocates, including #HarveyMilk, the first #openlygay #elected #official in #California. Milk and others argued that the #Proposition was #discriminatory and based on unfounded #fears.
As the #campaign against #Proposition6 intensified, #activists realized that #traditional #campaigning might not be sufficient.

Carl Nassib announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday night following seven seasons with three different teams. Nassib made history in June 2021, becoming the first openly gay active player in the league. Nassib was playing with the Las Vegas Raiders at the time and according to an Associated Press and ESPN report, he said the reaction to his announcement was "incredible." "I thought nobody would care. But it was just such a good feeling to have all that support," he said at the time, per the report. "I was glad to do my part to help bring visibility and representation to my community." According to the Associated Press and ESPN report, Nassib's company "Rayze" is an app that "links people to each other and to nonprofits that appeal to their interests or are based where they live." The 30-year-old was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft after playing at Penn State. Nassib spent his first two seasons with the Browns before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in

Mississippi will have its first-ever openly gay state legislator after a House candidate won his Democratic primary election runoff Tuesday. Fabian Nelson, a 38-year-old realtor from Byram, prevailed over Roshunda Harris-Allen, an education professor at Tougaloo College and alderwoman in Byram. The race to represent the south Jackson House District was decided in a runoff after neither Nelson nor Allen received a majority vote in the Aug. 8 primary. A local pastor finished a distant third and did not advance to the runoff. Nelson’s victory comes on the heels of a historic wave of restrictions passed by Republican-controlled legislatures targeting the rights of transgender people.
