GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

They are desperately striving to erase us, the LGBT community, and push us out of the political space we have fought for—through years of struggle and pain, while being forced into the shadows.
Let me be clear: no number of executive orders will erase our existence.

The Trump administration is erasing lifesaving HIV prevention and treatment info from the CDC’s website. This is not just negligence, it’s an attack on public health. Stripping access to critical medical facts will cost lives. We must fight back against this reckless, hateful agenda.
