Thank goodness for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Ben Crump. They show up in more ways than one when there’s a problem in Black communities and they speak out. I’m very grateful for them.

Wish there were people who would consistently show up when LGBTQ+ people are attacked, have problems, or need representation. Maybe they’re out there and I just don’t know about them.

I think Rachel Maddow on MSNBC represents well and consistently, but as a journalist at MSNBC, she’s restrained on just how much she can speak out because she works at a news organization. I was hoping that Caitlyn Jenner would be a voice for us, but that ain’t happenin’.

It’s really disheartening for me not to have anyone speaking for us. Hopefully that will change soon.
