This week in queer news, in a landmark verdict, a man was charged with a federal hate crime for killing Dime Doe, a Black trans woman in South Carolina. Ron DeSatan tries to distance himself from his OWN book-banning laws. In "What About the Kids?!" news, Texas passes on a $450 million summer lunch program for low-income families. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor criticized “The Color Purple” for “sanitizing” lesbian romance–opening up a lane for Kris to NOT watch the new movie. Gaslighting and audacity team up for episodes 7-9 of Love is Blind, and we recap the madness.

In Am I A Bad Queer, we get an update on a previous story. Plus, does it make sense to share an apartment building with your ex to co-parent your pet?
