Well done, Clint! And, me too. Words? Love them. Speaking them publicly? Not so much. I spoke publicly at a city council last week on a trans sanctuary resolution and I was quivering like a jello mold. Fortunately, I had no GI incidents and managed some degree of coherence. Would love to hear (or read) your remarks! 🏳️🌈

I bet you kicked butt and took names…hope the resolution moves forward and that everyone can feel safer, especially our trans family members. We are all better together…
As for my speech, I posted it (but didn’t email it) over the weekend. If you’d like to peruse, here’s the link:
Thank you, Clint - the resolution passed, unanimously, at 10:30 pm the night of the vote (the meeting began at 6 pm...we queers sat there for hours to hold our elected officials accountable!). I just read your speech. WOW. Thank you. And I'm sorry you had a trifecta of loss all at once, and...me too. In 2021, my partners' mother died unexpectedly, my dad died three weeks later, and my mom two months later. I too quit my job and went dark for the better part of a year after that. Thank you for coming back, and for shining your light so brightly here on substack and beyond (and for sharing your remarks with me!). ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
CONGRATS, KEITH! On the resolution as well as the fight back from the cave. Sorry you went through a similar dark season. Here’s to brighter days and queerer nights. Cheers, dears!
