This week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn dives into the first chaotic days of the 47th presidency and the real-life impacts on our community. Plus, we’re recapping the Creating Change conference—a true queer refuge in these wild and wicked times. From politics to culture, we've got you covered. 🎙️ Chanting for Change: Creating Change wrapped up with a powerful chant: "What side are you on? I'm on freedom’s side." This year’s conference was a refuge, and I’ll share why it felt like a much-needed brave space. 📰 In Politics: The 47th president wasted no time, signing a staggering 26 executive orders on Day 1, targeting LGBTQ rights, climate policies, and more. Rep. Emily Randall fights back against transphobic policies with a powerful statement: her office bathroom is now a safe space for all. Texas Rep. Venton Jones proposes to his partner on the House floor, proving love always wins. 🌟 In Culture & Entertainment: Over 2,500 queers took over Las Vegas for the Creating Change conference where the theme was rooted in resistance, love and power.  GLAAD announces nominees for the 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards — who made the list?
