➡️ Olympians who speak out against Trump or ongoing ICE raids in America are being met with hate comments, harassment, and even death threats — and queer athletes Amber Glenn and Gus Kenworthy are at the front of it.

Plus, we have a roundup of Bad Bunny’s legendary, queer-inclusive Super Bowl Halftime performance, Gay Days Orlando has been forced to hit pause by today’s political climate, and a new documentary shows the fight against conservative book bans in the South.

And for the latest in our History is Queer series, we take a look at the life of Billy Strayhorn, the gay Black man who was Duke Ellington’s “right arm.”

Until tomorrow,
