Equality California’s
Open Letter to Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson —

We can’t believe we need to even say this, but here we go:

We, the undersigned, fully condemn your miserable and desperate attempt to belittle our community, our dignity and our lives.

We’ve seen your type before; we know exactly how this goes.

From Dan White to Anita Bryant to Jerry Fallwell, shameful extremists just like yourself have tried desperately to hold our movement back.

But know this: We’ve proven time and time again that your hate is simply no match for us.

Our community is bold and resilient. Together with our allies, we will continue to march ahead — with pride — until we achieve full, lived equality for everyone.

In the 40+ years since Harvey Milk’s murder, his legacy has grown beyond his wildest dreams. We’ve elected scores of openly LGBTQ+ leaders at the local, state and federal level, passed lifesaving pro-equality legislation and so much more.

And we refuse to back down.

So to make a joke about the murder of one of us? You should be ashamed of your actions.

Signed,

ADD YOUR NAME »
