Hi there,
🩺 After President Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, The Advocate asked medical experts what the LGBTQ+ community should know about this disease. Cancer, especially prostate cancer, often progresses silently. And in gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, as well as transgender women, nonbinary people, and intersex folks, the risk of being overlooked is often embedded in systems unequipped to care for diverse bodies and identities.
🎵 Johnny Mathis stepped onto the stage for the final time at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, New Jersey, Sunday concluding a remarkable seven-decade career that redefined American pop music and quietly broke barriers for queer artists worldwide.
🏛️ If U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas wins New Hampshire’s open Senate seat in 2026, he will become the first out gay man ever elected to the U.S. Senate and one of only a few LGBTQ+ persons to. But Pappas, a 44-year-old Democrat now in his third term in the House of Representatives, says his campaign isn’t about making history. Read our interview with him.
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper
