This week on the Queer News podcast Anna DeShawn kicks off the pod with two Queer News tips that came through from our listeners. First, a high school in Massachusetts holds a social justice conference for high school students by high school students. Second, Thailand passes a bill to legalize same-sex marriage and the vote wasn’t even close. In politics, a tweet from President Biden has led to a lot of Internet ignorance. In culture & entertainment, in recognition of Trans week of visibility & action I’m going to share an organization here in Chicago doing great work called Life is Work. Also, Lil Nas X does a collab with UK star skaiwater and Ncuti Gatwa is set to be the next Doctor for the next season of Doctor Who. Let’s go!
