Human Rights Campaign (HRC)

Virginia’s Republican, Trump-endorsed candidate for governor finally mustered the courage to answer the question after previously dodging the topic.

As HRC’s former president fights to salvage his reputation and prove he was treated differently because he is Black, activists and former employees tell LGBTQ Nation the inside story.

“Whoever knows anything about my baby’s murder please tell,” her mother said. “Y’all took the best thing ever from me.”

“We can’t apply transparency only to white people,” David told MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart.

“They will definitely kill me. Being gay is not a good thing in Afghanistan…. Everything has totally changed. Nobody is happy here.”

David was fired for allegedly working to discredit a sexual harassment accuser of New York’s former Governor Andrew Cuomo.

David says some in his own organization want him to leave, without the release of a report on his conduct alongside his former boss, Andrew Cuomo, because they now consider him a “distraction.”

Despite changing her name, Tierramarie Lewis has been deadnamed and misgendered since her death.

Alphonso David claims that his former boss and co-workers “tried to use me,” but the Human Rights Campaign is now investigating to determine his future.

Alphonso David called on his former boss New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign this week, but now there are calls for David to step down too.
