Happy Sunday Funday! I am currently at the Democratic National Convention where last night I ate a lot of free food and pretended I was into athletics.
Them’s The Rules
+ The Mayor of Cleveland just expanded the city’s nondiscrimination law to protect trans folks.
Jackson signed Ordinance 1466-13, which amends Cleveland’s anti-LGBT discrimination law to prohibit businesses from banning their employees and customers to use restrooms that are consistent with their gender identity, during a ceremony at Cleveland City Hall. Equality Ohio Executive Director Alana Jochum and Jacob Nash, a trans man who co-chaired the campaign in support of the proposal, were among those who joined the mayor on stage.
“Cleveland is a place where we want to be welcoming to everyone and that everyone is the same and everyone is someone that has equity,” said Jackson before he signed Ordinance 1466-13.
Nash said Ordinance 1466-13 makes Cleveland “a more welcoming city for every individual.”
Hillary Clinton Loves You I Think
+ There’s a lot of mixed feelings in the world about Tim Kaine. But one thing we know is that he has a pretty excellent record on LGBT rights.
+ Hillary made an unplanned visit to Pulse this week to commemorate the victims after having spoken with many of their family members. The idea of an elected official actually behaving this way with their constituents is exciting to me.

Get Proud
+ The rural queers are comin’ out. Thank the USDA.
+ The DNC is very gay this year, like JSYK. If you’re in Philly you should hit me up. Or I mean, you could also just go to one of these events instead.
F*ck Donald Trump, Tho
Hey, Donald. We heard you like walls, so we put you inside one because you’re a piece of human garbage.
