    Again— @HillaryClinton Hillary Rodham Clinton was the first woman to be elected President of The United States of America. She won. Her opponent cheated and committed crimes to “win”. I will have a broken heart about this for the rest of my life. 💔

    A quick story about Leslie Jordan. @thelesliejordan (1) He was gifted, hilarious, generous, deep and filled with a full range of humanity. The night before I came out of the closet, I spent a fabulous evening in NYC with Leslie Jordan. He knew what the next day held for me.

    TWELVE YEARS today. I made my decision to come out of the closet in 2006 the morning after I didn’t end my life. That morning, I began writing my book & building a team of people to help me come out in a way that allowed me to tell MY story, MY way. I couldn’t be more grateful.

    I will never get over the fact that @HillaryClinton should’ve been our president. @realDonaldTrump cheated on several levels; including but not limited to conspiring with a hostile foreign power which in any other contest or local school bake-off, would’ve negates his “win.”

    President Trump is making Dr. Deborah Brix his “star”. It’s also his way of knocking Dr. Fauci down a notch. It’s all a game show to him, folks. (Also, the whole “by Easter Sunday” thing is a way to control Evangelical Christians; his way of challenging their faith (in him)

    (6) I knew by the way he said it that there were decades of shit he had taken so the rest of us didn’t have to. Thank you, Leslie. May you fly… 💔💔💔

    In between work calls this morning, I hopped on a meeting with my boys’ school which was attended by hundreds of other parents & teachers. I decided to take a quick bath as I listened to call, w/my mic muted. As it turns out, my camera was not off. How’s your morning going?

    (4) I sat— while he remained standing. Leslie leaned toward me, put his forehead directly onto mine and said, “You go girl.” (And then he spoke five words with notable pauses in between.) “And. Don’t. Take. No. Shit.”

    (5) I will never forget how Leslie Jordan, a person who had paved the way for me and so many others said the words, “And. Don’t. Take. No. Shit.”
