<div> I need your help.  Despite my hesitation, I’m going by the advice many of you have shared.  I am requesting help in battling harmful lies and the spread of misinformation and propaganda targeting the LGBTQ+ community and their families, spearheaded by individuals such as Stew Peters, a prominent figure within far-right conspiracy circles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most of you know on February 23rd, I was tagged in a video by Stew Peters.  He didn't just twist the truth about us, he and his guest Jon Miller accused me of heinous crimes and even called for an investigation by the NYPD. His words didn't stop there; he suggested I should be publicly executed, invoking images of "The Gallows."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now thanks to many of you who reported him, his instagram got shut down.  But these videos remain accessible on platforms like Rumble and X, which has resulted  in death threats, online bullying, and direct harassment have become a daily routine.  AND he has opened up a new Instagram account - @StewPetersOfficial.  On Rumble and X he still showcases clear images and videos of my children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you also suggested, I decided to get legal advice. It's become clear that legal action is necessary, but securing representation has proven challenging due to the complexity of the case and the financial burdens associated with it. I have been trying to find a firm that will represent me based on contingency, but that has proven unsuccessful.
</div>
<div>'
</div>
<div>This fight isn't just about me and my family—it's about pushing back against the harmful rhetoric and propaganda that puts all LGBTQ+ community and families at risk. By standing up to individuals like Stew Peters, we're not only defending our own rights but sending a message that hate has no place in our society.
</div>
<div>To fund this legal battle, I've set up a GoFundMe campaign. This money will aid in the cost of lawyers to fight against this man and his actions. Any extra funds leftover from the case will go directly to LGBTQ+ charities, because I believe in turning adversity into something positive. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During these wild and vile times, I think it’s vital we unite against the wave of hatred and misinformation. Hate to bring up his name, but Trump gave permission to these extremist to do or say whatever they want, and we can’t sit back without challenging it. I’m fortunate to have this platform, and I refuse to remain silent.  I want my kids as adults to look back and know we took a stand against bigotry and misinformation. Together, with your help, I’m hoping we can confront this menace and pave the way for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
