In 2013 she was the featured performer at the National LGBTQ Task Force 's 25th National Conference on LGBT Equality : Creating Change in Atlanta GA where she explained that she had come out for all of the young LGBT people . '' " It 's so wonderful to see all the young people here . You all are the reason that I chose to be out . Because it is important that you see people in the public eye who are not ashamed of who they are . It is ok to be true to you . " '' In 2014 Davis created a stir when she spoke out bluntly in response to the verdict in the Shooting of Jordan Davis by Michael Dunn where the jury deadlocked on the charge of first-degree murder , saying '' " As an LGBT woman of color , I am having an extremely difficult time grasping WHY Matthew Shephard ’s life is so much more valuable than Trayvon ’s or Jordan ’s ????!?!?! Help me understand , y’ all ! Help me understand " ''
