It is Pride Month. And FCC Chair Brendan Carr wants TV ratings to label shows that include transgender and nonbinary characters as if they are dangerous content. Trans people are our neighbors and our fellow congregants. More than 5 million children in this country have LGBTQ+ parents. They are not a danger to anyone.

Today, 65 countries have laws that criminalize LGBTQIA+people for who they are or how they express themselves. In some places, being LGBTQIA+ can still carry the death penalty. That's roughly 34% of the world where simply being yourself can come with legal consequences.

Which is why friendship, allyship, and acceptance matter so much. There is still work to do. 🌈❤️
