Hi all,
📣 Well, Anita Bryant, the antigay activist known for having a pie thrown at her face and for campaigning against LGBTQ+ rights, died. She was 84.
🏛️ U.S. Rep. Mark Takano now chairs the Congressional Equality Caucus. The caucus, which advocates for equality regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, faces heightened challenges under a Republican-controlled Congress and the incoming second administration of President-elect Donald Trump. Here's what he has to say about the 119th Congress.
❌ I can't even believe I'm writing this, but Idaho Republican legislatorshave introduced a resolution on Tuesday urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that established marriage equality nationwide.
🗞️ V Spehar of Under the Desk News informs millions of viewers a week about the world around them. The Advocate spoke to them about their platform, what lies ahead for TikTok, and a recent NPR interview.
Onward and upward,
