Our two-month-old son was on a ventilator at the children's hospital when you attacked my husband for being with his family. I watched him take calls and Zooms from our hospital room all day, managing crisis after crisis while our son's heart monitor beeped in the background.

LGBTQ rights aren't up for debate. There shouldn't be two sides here. My love doesn't harm you. You know what's harmful? Being denied housing, employment, or legal entry to the hospital your spouse is rushed to. We can debate pineapple on pizza. We won't be debating civil rights.

Thirteen years ago I wrote my mom a letter telling her I was gay. Then I packed my bags and I ran. Today, she brought me champagne for lunch and we laughed, hugged, and celebrated the release of a book, a story, and a life I thought I’d never live to see.

An honest question for you, @Mike_Pence, after your attempted joke this weekend. If your grandchild was born prematurely and placed on a ventilator at two months old - their tiny fingers wrapped around yours as the monitors beep in the background - where would you be?

I gained twenty pounds during COVID and felt awful about it. Then a good friend told me "maybe just dress the body you have and stop worrying about it." So I finally went and bought new pants. I'm very grateful for having such good friends... and also for these bigger pants.

This morning the twins helped pick our their sweaters, scooted down the stairs, ran to their chairs, and sat at the table eating scrambled eggs with forks. They said "bye bye dada" on the way out the door.
It's been 17 months. You need new material. Go yell at an M&M.

I’ve sat at tables with people who would gladly deny me the right to marry, who openly support conversion therapy, and who adamantly believe being gay is a choice. Doesn’t mean they’re any less homophobic because we shared a meal.
For all of you who still think our @VP is anti-gay, I point you to his and the @SecondLady’s schedule tomorrow where they will join Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar and his partner Dr. Matthew Barrett for lunch in Ireland. 🇮🇪 @merrionstreet

Every LGBTQ student, teacher, parent, nurse, astronaut, mechanic, soldier, etc in Florida is still LGBTQ. The governor can sign a bill making it illegal to acknowledge their existence, but he can’t make them disappear with a pen.

I'm really starting to get tired of these straight white men writing think pieces about how Black women are "performing" or "emotional" or "auditioning to be Veep." Maybe they're just really good at their job and you could show some respect for that rather than writing clickbait.

As a political spouse you walk a very blurry and confusing tight rope during interviews with regard to what you can and cannot say. Watching @DrBiden shut this down just cured my allergies and cleared my skin.
CNN’s @jaketapper to Jill Biden: “Your husband has been known to make the occasional gaffe…”
Biden: “You can’t even go there. After Donald Trump you cannot even say the word gaffe.” #CNNSOTU

Still, she admits she entered the public market in order to discriminate against LGBT people, citing her faith and a "calling from God."
