Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

@georgetakei Extremist beliefs are fueling these gun-toting lunatics, filling them with hate and fear.

Extremist politicians, social media platforms, and news media sources stoke hate and fear, spread lies and misinformation, and demonize and marginalize populations of human beings, and THEY are responsible for abhorrent events like this.
