Chyna Gibson was the Candy Girl in my life. Murdered February 25, 2017 in New Orleans. 2 months before my wedding that she was scheduled to be in and 3 months before her reassignment surgery. She was so close. I miss her everyday.

Many of us in Houston will rush to return to work on Monday as if things are ok. We have a very bad habit of rushing to resilience as we navigate from crisis to crisis in effort to be branded as Houston Strong. I've learned that there ain't no honor in pretending. Be mindful.

I had a small town, very Black coming out. My mom hosted a fish fry with friends, invited me, and said she had something to ask.😳Privately she asked if I was gay. I said yes. We returned to the party and her friends read our smiles and yelled “turn the mf’n music up” 🕺🏾💃🏾🏳️🌈
I'd love to read a bunch of personal stories from LGBTQIA folks who had an unexpectedly positive experience with coming out to their parents and what it meant for and to them. I could be wrong, but I suspect such a collection would also be valuable to future parents generally.

As someone that grew up in Galveston County, it’s really weird to see other cities center themselves in the Juneteenth holiday. This should absolutely be in Galveston, Tx. And maybe they can create the Opal Lee Juneteenth Museum to honor her work. Not National tho.
Plans are moving forward for the National Juneteenth Museum, a $70 million project in Fort Worth, Texas, which aims to open in time for the holiday in 2024. It is the brainchild of Opal Lee, a local resident known as "the grandmother of Juneteenth."

The gay insinuations are not cool. If you want to get answers about the position, fine. But using sexuality as a negative political jab should disqualify anyone from leading a city. These actions imply a very antiquated and dangerous view of LGBTQ people. Buzbee should be ashamed
