Hi all and happy Transgender Day of Visibility!
🌈 We are honoring our transgender readers as we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility. We've published several pieces on honoring transgender lives and recognizing the journey onward to defend trans people's rights. Check out several of them below. ⬇️ ⬇️
🏛️ A gay lawyer is on the prosecution team in Georgia that is pursuing charges against former President Donald Trump. In the pivotal election interference case against Trump, Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten, who joined the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in January 2021, has been central in addressing complex legal issues. Wooten has spoken about being a queer attorney before.
🐇 Okay, so we all know that Sunday was Easter. Well, Easter — which has no fixed date — landed on March 31, 2024. Another holiday on March 31 this year was Transgender Day of Visibility, as I mentioned above. Well, Trump and a whole lotta Republicans freaked out that President Joe Biden recognized TDOV. They apparently couldn't grasp that both Easter and TDOV could be on the same day. 🐇
“Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric,” a White House spokesperson told The Advocate. ✨
Onward and upward,

Look, the answer!
Each week, The Advocate newsletter has a little bit of LGBTQ+ trivia. Tuesday, you'll get the question. Thursday, you'll get a hint. And today, you'll get the answer.
This week's question is: What global musical icon dedicated their last album to their gay family member, Uncle Johnny?
This week's answer is: Beyoncé. The singer released Cowboy Carter on Friday to critical acclaim.
🎉 Congrats to Richard and others for getting it right!
