As I count my blessings this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the opportunity to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community that is deeply hurting.

The recent Q Club killings in Colorado Springs are the latest example of the searing hate and violence gripping our nation.

Hate toward those considered to be \\u201cthe other\\u201d \\u2014 simply for existing as who they are.

Those of us who call ourselves allies must do our part. Re-posting this episode is one step in doing my part to bring awareness, understanding and empathy to a community deserving of love and acceptance.

Last April, Liam Paschall first shared his story as a transgender man with the OVM audience. In the wake of the Q Club mass shooting, Liam\\u2019s message is more important than ever.

I am thankful that he has the courage to speak out and stand in his truth.

I ask that you have the courage to listen.
