#JesseJackson was an ally to #LGBTQ people before it was fashionable; when most politicians were scared to say the word "gay" or publicly be associated with us, Jesse Jackson did just that. And in 1987, when people with AIDS were too often shunned, discriminated against and treated with fear and contempt, Jackson publicly hugged people with AIDS at the LGBTQ March on Washington. Hail and farewell. #RIP https://wehoonline.com/jesse-jackson-lgbtq-legacy-west-hollywood-obituaries-missing/
