➡️ Conservative groups are taking another shot at overturning marriage equality, and this time their argument is that recognizing same-sex marriages is bad for children.

Plus, advocacy groups and activists including Jane Fonda joined forces to protest the Trump administration’s arrest of Don Lemon and other journalists today.

Rounding out the Friday news dump, the Department of Justice is opening a civil rights investigation into Alex Pretti’s death and has released another 3 million pages of the Epstein files.

And we’re remembering the late, great Catherine O’Hara with a look back at her 2020 interview with The Advocate, in which she celebrates Moira Rose’s acceptance of her son David in Schitt’s Creek.

Have a good weekend,
