Time flies when the world is descending into fascism. It’s been 100 days since Trump took office and our community — our trans siblings — have been hit the hardest.

Healing Through Humor with Dylan Mulvaney
We are huge advocates of pleasure and joy as protest and Dylan Mulvaney is not only the embodiment of queer joy – she’s creating more outlets to express it through conversation, performance and art. Mulvaney talks about pushing back against transphobia by making art and creating joy as the antidote to a system of hate that wants our community to be small, individually and collectively.Vico and Nay talk with Mulvaney about her new book, upcoming podcast, and the importance of acknowledging and tending to your shadows to persevere in your joy.♥︎ Today in Gay

MSNBC Makes Gay History, Trans Incarcerated Folks Sue Trump, and Christian Firms Threaten DEI Companies
Happy Tuesday, Gays!We’re holding on to our coping mechanisms right there with you by finding ways to push back, re-engage and invest in our community.
