<div>We’re raising funds to help pay the legal fees needed to battle a political ad featuring my friend Frank without his consent. A <span>recent campaign ad by current Congressman Rob Bresnahan Jr singles out images of Frank’s Lady Lydia as if she were some enemy of him or his constituents. It paints her and her pride activism as something to be ashamed of, and a reason to vote against his opponent. </span><span>This isn’t about silencing the voice of any political party, it’s about Lady Lydia’s right to privacy, and the unauthorized use of her likeness. The LGBTQ+ community and their allies don’t need any more unwarranted negative attention than they already get. </span>


</div>



<div>
 Frank has spoken with a lawyer who feels they can handle to task of getting the ad taken off of television and the internet. Unfortunately, good help doesn’t always come cheap. He needs some generosity to help protect himself, his loved ones, and his community.

</div>

<div>In his own words:

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div><span>“This was certainly never a situation I expected to find myself in, and asking for help isn’t always easy. But sometimes you have to stand up and say enough is enough.
If you are able to donate, I am incredibly grateful. If you can’t, sharing the GoFundMe is just as appreciated. Every donation, share, message, and word of encouragement means more than you know.
Thank you for reminding me over these past few days just how much love and support surrounds this Queen. ️‍❤️

And trust me… this Queen isn’t going quietly. ”<br /></span>

</div>

<div><span><br /></span>

</div>

<div><span>Every little bit helps. If you know Frank, you know his kind nature and generous spirit. He has helped so many people through the years in many capacities, both professionally and out of the goodness of </span><span>his heart . The insinuations in the ad are ridiculous, uncalled for, and dangerous. So, please, donate if you can. And share to help spread the word.</span>
