Good evening, everybody. How you all doing? We're getting through the week. I hope you're all

feeling a little bit better. You know, we've got the inauguration behind us and anyone that's been

tracking all the movement in the Biden administration, whether those are, you know, whether you all

are supporters of Biden or not, a lot's happened. And, you know, we've talked about this and some of this

has been in the news, but just wanted to kind of go back and retroactively, just kind of map what's

been happening thus far, which really profound when things happen immediately, hit in the ground

running. I mean, Biden has done thus far in such a short period of time a lot for LGBTQIA plus

rights, including an executive order that ensures

protections against discrimination for LGBTQ plus people. That's phenomenal. And this is a quote,

every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear,

no matter who they are or whom they love. I love this. This is all in the order. It says children should be able

to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the bathroom, restroom,

or school sports. And also, I love this as well, because we're talking about protections based

on gender and sexual orientation, that adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation

knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because

of how they dress. Love this. And HRC, the human rights campaign, has called it, oh, these are big

terms, the most substantive, wide-ranging LGBTQIA order in history. Sit with that. That's phenomenal because we were

watching the Trump administration roll back a lot of rights for people that are trans or gay or queer.

And we even saw him removing the webpage from the administration, the White House's website

around protections and rights.

So that was really scared for a lot of people.

That doesn't mean, again, that the work is done and the work is over.
