On this National Coming Out Day, we are so pleased to share this post from State Representative Renitta Shannon and why she is choosing now to come out as bisexual. Please join us in thanking her for her courage!
This week the #Trump administration voted against a United Nations resolution that condemned governments giving people the death penalty as punishment for blasp...hemy, adultery and consensual same-sex relations. The resolution also condemned the use of the death penalty on people with mental or intellectual disabilities, minors, pregnant women, and expressed serious concern "that the application of the death penalty for adultery is disproportionately imposed on women".
I’m generally a private person and tend to just focus on doing the work for progress instead of talking about myself as a person, but under the #Trump administration proactive visibility seems more important than ever.
I am not only a consistent advocate for LGBTQ issues, I am a member of the LGBTQ community. I am a bisexual black woman.
Visibility is Important, we must all stand up loudly for our values and be counted. My values include the freedom to control my own body, love who I love and to not have the government infringe on that freedom. If you stand with me, I will always stand and fight for Georgians who just want the same! #pride #lgbtq
