Broadwaybabyto<p>Bishop Budde made waves this week when she spoke directly to Trump during her Inauguration sermon. </p><p>She urged him to have mercy on those who fear for their lives under his administration. </p><p>She spoke of compassion for the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities he seems intent on destroying. </p><p>He of course lashed out, demanding an apology and calling her names. </p><p>Make no mistake, what she did was an act of bravery. For a few minutes she had a considerable platform, and she used it to speak up for those who can’t speak up for themselves. </p><p>She stood up to the bully. She showed us all what it means to be an ally. </p><p>Did you know she also provided a final resting place for Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in a gay hate crime at the age of 21? </p><p>He was interred at the Washington National Cathedral in a service she presided over after having no permanent resting place for years due to concerns his grave would be vandalized. </p><p> Look for the helpers. They’re still out there. They may not be as loud as the bullies but they’re quietly working to protect as many people as possible. To share messages of love and inclusion. To build community. To stand up to hate.</p><p><a href="https://www.matthewshepard.org/matthew-shepard-to-be-interred-at-washington-national-cathedral/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">matthewshepard.org/matthew-she</span><span class="invisible">pard-to-be-interred-at-washington-national-cathedral/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bishopbudde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bishopbudde</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/MatthewShepard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MatthewShepard</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspoli</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LQBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LQBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a></p>
