Gay USA 9/1/2021

∎ March on Washington for voting rights highlights peril our democracy is in. And the US Supreme Court lets an abortion ban go into effect in Texas—overturning Roe v. Wade without even writing an opinion.   ∎ Big win for trans student activist Gavin Grimm. But a setback for trans students elsewhere in Virginia and in Florida.   ∎ Students at a Colorado Christian school walk out in support of fired gay coach.   ∎ California’s vote on Gavin Newsom comes down to the wire and LGBTQ rights are on the line.   ∎ We mourn the loss of pioneering lesbian deaf activist, Barbara Kannapell.   ∎ In Bangladesh, six sentenced to death in the assassination of two gay activists.   ∎ Trans actor Alexandra Billings takes on the transphobia of producer Cameron Mackintosh.
