...........Too many people think that the fight for LGBT rights ended with marriage equality—but that's not true.
Some Americans believe discriminating against an LGBT person is illegal. It isn't.
Across this country, people can still be fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our transgender brothers and sisters are being murdered, simply for trying to live their lives. Trans women of color are being killed at an alarmingly high rate. As many as 40 percent of homeless youth are LGBT, and a large portion of them, I’m certain, are homeless because of the discrimination that they face.
That’s why I endorsed Hillary Clinton. Not only does she understand how important the continued fight for equality is, but she has the experience, the knowledge, and the drive to get things done—and to make life safer and more equal for LGBT Americans.
I did what I did for love.

I fight for John, and for all the people who want to be able to love freely and openly, to love themselves, without fear.
John lives on in me. And he lives on through this fight.
