Hey y'all,
🌎 WorldPride's D.C. organizers issued a warning Saturday cautioning trans and nonbinary folks visiting the U.S. for WorldPride that they should be aware of the risks in coming to the country under the anti-trans Trump administration. It comes as several countries around the world have announced travel advisories to their trans citizens for traveling to the states.
🚁 Jo Ellis, the transgender Army Black Hawk pilot falsely said to be flying the helicopter that collided with a passenger plane over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., in January, is suing one of the right-wing commentators who made the allegation. She told The Advocate she's doing it to "hold someone accountable."
🐊 Naples Pride has sued the city of Naples after the Florida municipality ramped up security costs for this year’s event. City officials said anti-trans opposition to the event at meetings prompted the city’s actions and that there would likely be excessive protests at the event in the midst of rising anti-transgender sentiment in Florida.
Onwards and upwards,
Alex Cooper
