LINCOLN — Ending harassment and violence is a top priority for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Nebraskans, according to a survey released Monday.

The Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights advocacy group, released results Monday of an online survey of 670 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Nebraskans.

The group also announced that Drew Heckman, an Omaha native, will serve as its first-ever field organizer in Nebraska.

If you keep closing the door in people's faces, how are they going to be able to find something else? If enough people shut the door, people will be left out in the cold. Decent people just don't do that.

Just as unsurprising as the number of times me and other gay people are told "to chill" and "don't be so paranoid."
