I didn&#8217;t know Monica half as well as I would have liked (borrowing from Tolkien), but I did know that she was an amazingly kind, determined, and talented individual. Monica was one of the warmest, most kind people I&#8217;ve ever had the honor of interacting with. She always made me felt welcome and I looked up to her not just as an activist, but as a person. <br \/><br \/>Her passing is a huge loss to the city of Houston, and most of all the LGBTQ+ community. As an ally I feel immense grief. I can only guess at the pain that those closest to her are feeling. <br \/><br \/>May Monica Rest in Power with the ancestors. <br \/>May we all learn to be a little more like Monica in our endeavors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/transgriot.blogspot.com\/<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have no words to adequately describe how I feel regarding the passing of Monica Roberts.
