➡️ The group defending so-called conversion therapy before the Supreme Court has been accused if misrepresenting evidence by the very researchers it cites.

In South Carolina, the home of a judge who ruled against the Trump administration burned down over the weekend, shortly after she had reportedly received death threats.

Meanwhile, anti-trans, anti-woke media figure Bari Weiss has officially become the editor in chief of CBS News.

In weirder news, a flight was forced to land after an unhinged passenger started raving about LGBTQ+ people giving him cancer.

We continue LGBTQ History Month with a look at vintage queer protest posters from ONE Archives’ “Days of Rage” exhibit.

‼️ If you’re an LGBTQ+ federal employee who’s felt pressured to hide your identity — whether by removing Pride flags, photos of your partner, or other measures — we want to hear from you. You can email Advocate senior national reporter Christopher Wiggins at christopher.wiggins@equalpride.com or reach out securely on Signal (cwdc.98). You may remain anonymous.

Until tomorrow,
