Here is your weekly queer digest with stories from around the world:
A town in Wales seated the world's first known nonbinary mayor, the first openly gay candidate is running for Vietnam's National Assembly, the United Kingdom will host its first global conference on LGBTQ+ rights, and the Biden administration announced the United States’ global LGBTQ rights priorities.
Unfortunately, attacks on trans people continued as Tennessee’s governor signed a bathroom bill that okayed lawsuits against schools that permit a birth certificate/facilities mismatch, politics in Italy are holding up LGBTQ rights, and a transgender woman was imprisoned in Cameroon.
We must stay strong, vigilant, and resilient! What will you do this week?
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.
