I love this country and will fight for it because my son deserves to grow up in a place where everyone can thrive authentically, without fear of persecution.

In another comment, she asked plaintively: “In a place where even a Black woman can be accused of being racist and a Christian woman labeled a fascist, what hope do others have to raise their voices?”
