NEWS TO WATCH

Congratulations to Illinois’ first openly LGBTQ state Senator, Michael Simmons! Read more about Michael’s historic swearing-in ceremony here.

Meanwhile, QAnon conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is backing a bill that bans Pride flags at U.S. embassies and other transphobic legislation. Our LGBTQ members of Congress are fighting back.

Despite a disgusting transphobic narrative to the contrary, a new report from the Center for American Progress shows there is no proof that trans-inclusive policies harm cisgender youth.
