Pope Francis rocks out with his mitre out, Texas rolls hard, and Russia continues its campaign of silence, as your AggreGAYtor is born in fire.
The Good
Pope Francis had a private audience with a trans Spaniard.
Pennsylvania’s new trans surgeon general has plenty of ambition.
Trans folk come from every community, and many find peace upon transition.
The Bad
Several states protect bigoted justices of the peace; Texas may soon oust the nice ones.
GOP leaders recently popped off in Iowa about every issue except LGBTQ civil rights.
Another Russian activist has been convicted under the nation’s “propaganda” law.
The Fugly
GOP leaders are more than willing to give their gay opinions outside of Iowa.
The Bruce Jenner hoopla is really just bullying by the gender police.
