Amanda Cole

@ThinkPlexus @TheCityClub @daveisay @StoryCorps My take aways today It's hard to hate up close. We must remember we belong to one another.

We are so excited to be a community partner today @TheCityClub listening to @daveisay of @StoryCorps - stories are so impactful - we listen, honor, & share these stories.

@daviedaily @TheBuckeyeFlame @ThinkPlexus 100% agree and so does the leadership of Plexus! This is the work we have in front of us. How to get more LGBT businesses on the registry so we can make a solid case for adding LGBT as a certification in the @CityofCleveland

The point of getting certified is to have a leg up. If there isn’t one, why go through the painstaking process? @TheBuckeyeFlame @ThinkPlexus

I wish I would have been interviewed for this article! It misses a vital point as to why LGBT business owners don’t see a reason to register. @CityofCleveland doesn’t include the classification in RFPs!!

@AmandaPLEXUS & @trendyBS are attending @NGLCC this year & are so excited to learn from all the queer chambers in attendance!

Loved working with the @getpantheon team for their pride celebration and educational program!

BREAKING: In the final week of Pride Month, two LGBTQ+ centers in Ohio experienced major vandalism to their property, one with a spray-painted racist slur. #LGBTQ #Ohio #PrideMonth thebuckeyeflame.com/2022/07/01/two…

@CLEInspires @ThinkPlexus @CleGuardians @CleHotDogs Amazing to be in the ballpark last night celebrating pride. We can't wait to take it to the next level in 2023.

We are proud to make our ballpark a safe space for love, inclusion and acceptance. Thanks for joining us today for Pride Night 2022! ❤️

@GCPartnership @ThinkPlexus Thanks for the great work elevating LGBTQ voices and businesses!

@trendyBS Too true

@ProjectNoirCLE did amazing work bringing forward the voices of Black women in Cleveland surviving in a city labeled the worst for their viability. Thankful to see some steps being taken by council

@ThinkPlexus But don't get your hopes up about Snapchat...

@MikeLoychik You grew up being taught about experiences, families, and relationships that were cisgender and heterosexual. These are natural topics and aspects of curriculum. Why are you making an issue when there is none? Why can't children read books or learn about a family like mine?

Thank you Cleveland Mayor @JustinMBibb for your quick rebuke of this terrible and discriminatory bill!

Do you think corporate pledges of support to resist these anti LBGTQ bills make any difference to the struggles in states? Alana Jochum of @EqualityOhio says in a conservative state from her, it is very important and does have an impact. @ThinkPlexus #ClassACTHR73Forum

Critics of “Don’t Say Gay” bill warn of the potential financial backlash to Ohio @ThinkPlexus @LGBTEqCaucus #LGBT WATCH: bit.ly/3rye2g7

@Local12 Everyone has a gender identity. Everyone has a sexual orientation. This includes straight, cisgender people. It is not a topic we can avoid in raising and educating children. LGBTQ people are not the problem, discrimination and censorship are.

Do you think kindergarteners should be taught about gender identity? bit.ly/3NZ1M1q
