The culture war rages, the Supreme Court guages, and Austin’s Stonewall rally engages, as your AggreGAYtor does something that rhymes with “orange.”
The Good
-
Austin remembers the Stonewall Riots, the most visible starting point of the LGBTQ civil rights movement, at the State Capitol.
-
The Supreme Court is bound to rule any minute now, and it’ll probably be good news for at least some of us.
-

-
Brazilian queers fight back in the thousands against the new “cura gay” law.
The Bad
-

The Fugly
-
The “Kumbaya Session” of the Texas Legislature ended its commitment to avoiding culture-war nonsense when the Special Session began, but Texans are stepping up and speaking out.
-
