This week on the Queer News podcast Anna DeShawn shares updates on a couple of stories she’s been following. The stories of Nex Benedict and Chevy Hill. We also need to share news about Alex Franco, a trans man who was murdered in Utah. In politics, let's celebrate another win this week. Over 40 anti-LGBTQ riders did not get passed in the recent spending bill that passed to avoid a government shutdown. In culture and entertainment, two trans women are getting some form of justice. I have to show some love to Jarrett Hill & Tre’vell Anderson for winning a NAACP Image award. And Amari, a Black trans woman, gets a ticket to the next round of American Idol. Let’s go!
