Notable Quotes:
"In 2020, I told you our union remained far from broken, and our responsibility as citizens has never been more urgent. Through our compassion and resilience, we survived a year of challenges that seemed insurmountable at times. And while we continue to face many of these adversities in 2021, I can confidently say our union remains strong as we march toward greatness and inclusivity."
"It is imperative that we look out for one another and selflessly put our community's health above our desire to kiki in large groups until we can all safely dance under the disco ball again."
"We must tirelessly work to dismantle white supremacy, ignorance, and hatred. All of which have gone ignored and unchecked for far too long - including within our own community."
"Forging ahead, the LGBTQ community will have a Democratic President and majority in Congress, but we must see real, tangible change. It is our duty to hold all those in power accountable, especially those we help elect and who claim to be our allies."
"Brighter days are ahead of us, if we continue to work towards them together. Be safe, be good to each other, and remember we will feel joy again soon."
