With the fabulous @sarahkateellis. @glaad has found a decline in 2017 in Americans’ comfort with #LGBTQ people. We have so much work to be done! #wef18 pic.twitter.com/pstAWrPep2

Adios, Davos. �� While this was the most #LGBTQ inclusive week in Davos yet, most visibility happened on the margins. #LGBTQ equality ��️‍�� deserves a place on the main stage. So much more work to be done! @wef #wef18
