On the Road to the Courthouse and Other Updates

June 17, 2021 Shaina Thorpe

On my way to my first in-person hearing at the federal courthouse in over a year.

It’s been a minute since I’ve blogged, and there is so much to talk about since the last blog went up. First and foremost, I am grateful to be healthy and to have made it through the last year relatively unscathed. I sincerely hope that if you are reading this, you and your loved ones have been well.

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination in employment. My team and I stand ready to help members of the LGBTQ+ community pursue their rights under the law.

Silence, Love, and Change

This amazing artistry is from @shirien.creates (instagram) to whom all the credit is due and is respectfully given.

While I am appalled by the flagrant murder of George Floyd, I am sad to say I am not entirely surprised. I have chosen to remain silent on the issue so far because what is happening right now is not about me. It’s about the lives we most recently lost and the change that has been sorely needed in our country for a long time. I believe love is the way forward and change happens when we come together, reject the hate, and vote. Black lives matter. Keep saying their names. Show the world that even their deaths will not silence their voices. Vote.
