This week have a queer news roundup that swings from infuriating to inspiring. This episode has the stories to give you feels about LGBTQIA+ rights, drag culture, and the fight for dignity in public life. We kick things off with a PSA about Heated Rivalry season 2, then move straight into the headlines that matter most: Scouting America backing away from dedicated LGBTQIA+, girls, and scouts-of-color spaces after pressure from anti-inclusivity activists. A follow-up on Pete Buttigieg’s doxxing nightmare and the investigation now underway in Michigan.

We also share the grassroots response in Ohio flipped hateful billboard messaging on its head, with Have a Gay Day raising $18,000 to launch its own billboard counter-campaign. We share Liverpool’s plan to honor The Vivienne with a permanent life-size statue in the city’s Pride Quarter, a tribute that celebrates her legacy while supporting addiction awareness and community healing. This and so much more!
