I sent this to all of my Texas representatives:

We’re sponsors of Dripping Springs Pride, happening tomorrow, June 22nd 2024.

Signs for the event have been repeatedly vandalized and stolen, and homophobic insults have been hurled.

Here’s a news segment from KVUE: “Dripping Springs Pride organizers say signs to promote this weekend’s festival were vandalized”

We are not safe from our Republican neighbors, who are increasingly intolerant and violent. We feel their seething animosity growing.

I grew up in toxic Christianity and white supremacy. I know the signs.

Here’s some of my story growing up in Southern Baptist and Evangelical Texas as a queer and neurodivergent kid:

Toxic Christians: We See You

Toxic Christians: We See You

Queer and Neurodivergent Liberation are Entwined

Queer and Neurodivergent Liberation are Entwined

What are you going to do to protect us? Republicans have soaked our children in shame and given permission to their children to hate.

And that is what happens when you soak one child in shame and give permission to another to hate.
