Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.

"Trump is trying to trick the public into thinking that his administration is trying to protect girls or children. But he is merely following the well-worn blueprint of scapegoating a small minority." Don't go along with it.

My thinking on how to be an ally to transgender Americans during this all-out assault on their humanity by Trump and the White House

Trump's executive order to literally erase the existence of transgender people is a moral outrage and a lie. Let's make sure it backfires, badly. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…
Thank you, @POTUS, for honoring @evanwolfson and @GLADLaw Mary Bonauto today with #presidentialcitizensmedal for profound leadership on winning the @freedomtomarry. Your leadership on marriage and all matters LGBTQ is a powerful part of your legacy. Grateful!

“Winning Marriage: The Inside Story of How Same-Sex Couples Took on the Politicians and Pundits – and Won” by @marcesolomon is the inspiring first-hand story of how the marriage movement went from obscurity to state and federal victory. (A model!) (4/5)

Wise words from my friend, @MarcESolomon 👇
Great piece on 20th Anniversary of Mass. Marriage Decision. "We misremember marriage equality as 'easy' fight. But it paved the way for trans rights." usatoday.com/story/opinion/v… via @usatoday

Civitas Partner @MarcESolomon co-wrote a piece for USA Today commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision entitling same-sex couples the freedom to marry and discussing what it means for trans rights. Check it out below! usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…
May 17 is a sacred day. 19 years ago s-s couples began marrying legally for the 1st time in US history beginning at 12:01 in Cambridge and then across MA. High school seniors in MA have never known a day when LGBTQ people couldn't marry.Let Freedom Ring! @GLADLaw @freedomtomarry

Yes to every word of what my friend, @shannonminter5, said to my friend, @CapehartJ. From the Revolution to the New Deal to the #civilrights and women's movements, from #LGBT coming out to the @freedomtomarry, history shows we can make things better if we keep doing the work.
"I deeply believe in our legal system, in our democracy...and I know that most people in this country, most courts, most legislators do as well. So we just cannot lose heart." @Shannonminter5 on protecting transgender rights #SundayShow
Very proud of @CivitasFirm Managing Partner and dear colleague @kagrainger for being named @CityAndStateNY 2022 Responsible 100! Very well-deserved!!

He said yes! 🌈
When @AlexOrtonWV and I met 8 years ago, same-sex marriage was illegal in West Virginia and many other places. Today at the @WhiteHouse, @POTUS signed the #RespectForMarriageAct into law, and Alex and I decided to spend the rest of our lives together. #LoveWins

Marriage equality is personal to so many of us.
My daughter and her wife are expecting a baby next spring, and I want them to be able to raise their child with all the love and security that every child deserves.
I’m so proud the Respect for Marriage Act is now law.
Marc Solomon retweeted
As @POTUS @JoeBiden prepares to sign the #RespectForMarriageAct into law tomorrow at @WhiteHouse, I think back to when we introduced the bill in 2009 with @RepJerryNadler, now-Senator @tammybaldwin , and other champions.
