On Lt. Governor Mark Robinson<U+2019>s recent comments, and all of his comments about LGBTQ people, he is wrong and hateful. As usual. <U+201C>Republican leaders should condemn these comments for the good of North Carolina[.]<U+201D> - @NC_Governor It was never about books. #ncpol #Durham #ncga
To all students, especially transgender kids, I<U+2019>m sorry the @NCGOP won<U+2019>t treat transgender people with dignity and respect. I<U+2019>m sorry they won<U+2019>t fund your schools or keep guns out of them. I<U+2019>m sorry they won<U+2019>t take up real measures to protect you from actual harassment.

HB358 isn’t about sports. It’s about hate. Plain and simple. I will vote “no” on this bill and I’ll keep fighting for protections and equality for our transgender youth. @NCHouseDems @equalitync #protecttransyouth #ncpol #LGBTQ https://t.co/x54HTKWdwS
As an LGBTQ elected official, it is important that I condemn Mark Robinson<U+2019>s words, but for the future of our state, it is more important that every North Carolinian do the same. #ncpol @NCHouseDems @NCDemParty
We need laws that protect LGBTQ people in NC from discrimination and violence. Pass the Equality for All Act. It’s the right thing to do. @equalitync @SouthernEqual cc: @HRC @HRCTriangleComm @LGBTQDemsNC @VictoryFund #ncisready #YallMeansAll #ncpol #Durham
Today, I filed H450, Equality for All with @priceyharrison @SusanFisher114. Human rights are not negotiable. Support LGBTQ+ North Carolinians. Support Equality for All. @NCHouseDems @equalitync cc: @HRCTriangleComm @VictoryFund #YallMeansAll #NCisReady #ncpol https://t.co/qplqr3OxBw
Anti-transgender bills threaten kids, families, and our economy. And while they are targeted at LGBTQ North Carolinians, they will hurt all North Carolinians. Learn more about the proposed bills and how you can do your part to defeat them: https://t.co/YDAev1WCxM. #ncpol https://t.co/zlrQeVBscj
I am thrilled to share that @VictoryFund has endorsed my campaign for re-election! I look forward to working with Victory again this year to be an even stronger voice for equality. #LGBTQ #nc #durham https://t.co/htbjpPGBqv
