The People Are Rising Up!

Family, wild and wicked don't even begin to describe the political chaos we're facing right now. But let me tell you—resistance is here. From the streets to the halls of Congress, leaders like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Elizabeth Warren, and Maxine Waters are speaking out, and our legal warriors are taking these executive orders to court. In this episode, we break down the latest attacks on LGBTQ rights—from bans on trans athletes and gender-affirming care to the dangerous shifts in federal policies—and the powerful pushback happening in response.

📣 "We will match their energy." — Rep. Ayanna Pressley at the rally against Elon Musk's influence in government affairs.

Tune in as we cut through the noise and bring you the truth, the fights, and the victories. Because here at Queer News, we don't just report the news—we make sure you know how to stand in your power.

This week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn dives into the first chaotic days of the 47th presidency and the real-life impacts on our community. Plus, we're recapping the Creating Change conference—a true queer refuge in these wild and wicked times. From politics to culture, we've got you covered.

🎙️ Chanting for Change: Creating Change wrapped up with a powerful chant: "What side are you on? I'm on freedom's side." This year's conference was a refuge, and I'll share why it felt like a much-needed brave space.

📰 In Politics:

• The 47th president wasted no time, signing a staggering 26 executive orders on Day 1, targeting LGBTQ rights, climate policies, and more.

• Rep. Emily Randall fights back against transphobic policies with a powerful statement: her office bathroom is now a safe space for all.

• Texas Rep. Venton Jones proposes to his partner on the House floor, proving love always wins.

🌟 In Culture & Entertainment:

• Over 2,500 queers took over Las Vegas for the Creating Change conference where the theme was rooted in resistance, love and power.

• GLAAD announces nominees for the 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards — who made the list?

• Unrivaled women's sports league is here, and I made a schedule to make sure you don't miss a game! Subscribe to the Queer News podcast newsletter to get the link. Subscribe here, https://bit.ly/UnrivaledSchedule
