Teresa Jacobs

Nearly one year later, LGBTQ victims and survivors of the Pulse massacre are being erased by politicians from local mayors all the way up to the governor.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orange County, Fla., mayor Teresa Jacobs has voiced her support for marriage equality. “I support it,” said Jacobs, who is both a Republican and Catholic. “People should be able to share their lives with the person they love. Government should treat these couples the same. Once you establish that, it takes you to marriage equality.”
