Jennifer Chrisler Quotations

I don't think this is a protest. Showing up, participating fully in an American tradition, showing Americans that we do exist, that in our minds isn't a protest.

It's not surprising that the right would be against it. They are very clear about wanting to make our families invisible.

They're going to let their bigotry get in the way of helping children.

We're thrilled to recognize and further thank Capital One Financial for their steadfast support of Family Pride and LGBT parents. Capital One Financial continues to find innovative and creative ways to make LGBT people, particularly LGBT parents, feel valued in the workplace. Their commitment to diversity, inclusion and equality is admirable, and we're proud to honor them with the Corporate Community Responsibility Award.

When people know us, it's harder for them to discriminate against us.

Obviously, we are gravely concerned and very troubled by the increased level of activity. I find it ironic and incredibly disingenuous when politicians say this is in the best interest of the children when the research says otherwise.

Approximately 9 million children are being raised in LGBT-headed households. Our parents live in every corner of this country, rural and urban, red states and blue states, and we strive like every other parent in this country to give our children the best opportunities, to shower them with love, to teach them respect and a love for the rich and diverse traditions America has to offer them. By participating in this American tradition we hope to show our children a great time while introducing our families to the American public in a genuine and respectful way. I know my four-year-old twin sons are going to have a terrific time and I invite anyone with children to come to this cherished event.

I'm disappointed by it. It certainly has been our understanding that in years past, timed tickets had been given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

It was a fabulous day. People were here for one thing only: to spend the day with their children.

Family Pride will continue to work with our partners, including Equality Ohio, to help defeat this anti-LGBT, anti-family measure. Nothing less than the lives of Ohio's most vulnerable children are at stake.
