This week Alan Turing became the first gay man on a British banknote, Canada's House of Commons passed a conversion-therapy ban, and New Zealand's Prime Minister defended the selection of a trans weightlifter for the Tokyo Olympics.
In addition to this, fans made a pro-LGBT protest at a Germany-Hungary soccer game, the European Union will investigate Hungary over an anti-LGBT law, thousands marched for LGBT equality in Poland, and the United States' Supreme Court again rejected a license to discriminate.
We hope you hold these advances as positive signs that collective action creates change! Stay healthy, happy, and resilient in this week ahead.
Global Queer News is an initiative of The Global Center’s Media Unit. Each week, we gather the top queer stories from around the world and synthesize them for your knowledge and action.
