This Week In Politics Minnesota Supreme Court rules transgender athlete ban is discrimination but opens door to further challenges The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled in favor of trans athlete JayCee Cooper after she was discriminated against during a women's powerlifting competition.

Alderperson Jesse Fuentes Sues The Federal Government Alderperson Jesse Fuentes is pursuing legal action against the Federal Government after being handcuffed while asking the agents if they had a warrant for the person they were pursuing inside the ER of Humboldt Park Health. This Week In Entertainment and Culture Our Crosswalks Are Being Destroyed Tons of new and harmful legislation has been passed this year. We are now at the point where these policies begin to impact how we actually live. But in this world of rapidly changing laws, these stories from Miami, Dallas, and New York offer examples of small ways communities are fighting back in this cultural round-up about crosswalks and film festivals. The Out 100 list is out! The Annual OUT100 list has been released for this year! Divided into six categories, Artists, Disruptors, Educators, Groundbreakers, Innovators, and Storytellers, we chose a few people to highlight including The StudBudz, Doechii, Kierra Johnson, and Amber Ruffin! 🌈✊🏾🏳️⚧️✨ About Queer News An intersectional approach to a weekly news podcast where race & sexuality meet politics, entertainment and culture.
