Had some feelings this morning when I realized it’s been over two years since I lost an adored cousin, and a beloved friend within 6 months of each other. I feel like my world got a bit duller 2023…and some mornings are just harder than others. How are these two people gone? I miss them.

hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught

I feel like every time I get on the right bus in NYC I earned EXP - this might seem basic but when I first moved here I somehow always got on the wrong bus haha

he was Native American too: Comanche. freaking TIRED of us being one of the highest statistics to succumb to homicide.

"U.S. DOJ report: From 1992–2002, the rate of violent crime against Natives aged 25–34 years was more than 2.5 times the rate for all people of the same age."

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

We are nearly to 40% on GoFundMe and just continue to be blown away by all the love and support our Mom has been getting! (By support, I don’t mean this photo which shows her grandkids completely demolishing her in Mario Kart) Seriously, thank you for sharing and just thank you!

Wanted to give an update and a thanks to all those that continue to share & support my mom’s GoFundMe - she’s mastering the walker and can move pretty well (for a little while). I’ve also gotten her back on Great British Bake Off. The road is long & we’re grateful for all of you (and baking shows)

We’ve received so much love and support and I just want to thank you all - seriously!! My mom is in awe and she continues to get stronger every day. We know it is a long journey but having so many people rooting for her makes it easier. ♥️

Earlier this month my mom was injured (broken ankle, shattered knee) - unfortunately she had just relocated and was job hunting so she is uninsured. If you can, I would greatly appreciate everyone who can spread the word on the GoFundMe that we’ve (her kids) launched for: gofund.me/dc9c0207

Ringing in the new year with a thunderstorm and somehow that seems like the best way to end 2024 and start 2025.
