PA State Rep Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia County) has made his intentions clear: he wants to criminalize drag performances and, by extension, LGBTQ+ public life in the Commonwealth. In a memo circulated to his colleagues, Leadbeter announced plans to introduce a bill that would make it a third-degree felony for anyone to allow a minor to attend a drag show. This bill would effectively criminalize Pride celebrations across Pennsylvania.

Way to go, Elon! Thanks to your “chainsaw” approach to education cuts, you managed to COST taxpayers more money than you saved. Maybe you should change the name of your working group to DOGI, Department of Government Ineffeciency. We realize this government isn’t big enough for two doggies. So why don’t you take your other doggy out of the Oval Office for a walk before he craps all over the country with another Executive Order.

As part of Black History Month, we explore how Gospel music grew as a musical genre in Chicago. The Wright Brothers' story from Dayton, Ohio, to Kill Devil Hill, NC is quite a remarkable one.

We weave in the jazz stylings of Sarah Vaughn before returning to more news from Andy Humm and Anne Northrop on Gay USA. On Auschwitz explores the complexities of the quintessential N**i concentration camp and extermination center.

We realize there is a lot of text in this photo. However, as with all bills that are introduced, one must read the fine print to fully grasp the consequences of passing such a bill into law. Should schools be forced to out students to parents they know are not supportive of the LGBTQ+ community? Should they be forced to tell trans students that they cannot honor their pronouns or name? Should young girls who become pregnant be forced by their parents to carry the baby to term, even if conceived by r**e or in**st?
