➡️ A center for LGBTQ+ youth in Denver has to close its doors until further notice after a burglar stole nearly $10,000. Anyone who wants to learn more about the organization or help them with a donation can visit youthseen.org.

Meanwhile, we interviewed the transgender pastor who came out to her congregation during a Sunday service, and we take a look at the history of the Compton’s Cafeteria riot in San Francisco.

We also cover a lesbian educator who won $700,000 after allegedly being called a “witch” in an “LGBTQ coven,” and CBS News chief Bari Weiss has announced a televised town hall with Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika.

Until tomorrow,
