Jill and I are heartbroken by the recent loss of Nex Benedict. Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today. In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children. Bullying is hurtful and cruel, and no one should face the bullying that Nex did. To LGBTQI+ young people across the country – you are loved exactly as you are.
