This week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn dives into the first chaotic days of the 47th presidency and the real-life impacts on our community. Plus, we’re recapping the Creating Change conference—a true queer refuge in these wild and wicked times. From politics to culture, we've got you covered. 🎙️ Chanting for Change: Creating Change wrapped up with a powerful chant: "What side are you on? I'm on freedom’s side." This year’s conference was a refuge, and I’ll share why it felt like a much-needed brave space. 📰 In Politics: The 47th president wasted no time, signing a staggering 26 executive orders on Day 1, targeting LGBTQ rights, climate policies, and more. Rep. Emily Randall fights back against transphobic policies with a powerful statement: her office bathroom is now a safe space for all. Texas Rep. Venton Jones proposes to his partner on the House floor, proving love always wins. 🌟 In Culture & Entertainment: Over 2,500 queers took over Las Vegas for the Creating Change conference where the theme was rooted in resistance, love and power.
