Description

Recent industry studies and the personal testimonies of out queer employees reveal a disturbing trend of employers backtracking on their support for ensuring welcoming workplaces. The statistics became reality for Dr. Khôra Martel when the University of Tennessee let her go from the religious studies department after she came out as trans. (Part 1 of 2 produced by David Hunt.)

And in NewsWrap: a Dutch citizen and a local trans woman lose their challenges to Malawi’s criminalization of same-gender relationships, Aruba and Curaçao must immediately allow same-gender couples to marry by order of the Dutch Supreme Court, British LGBTQ activists are “cautiously optimistic” about their prospects under the newly-elected Labour government, French voters hand the burgeoning far-right and anti-queer National Rally Party a humiliating defeat in national elections, the Hiroshima High Court allows a trans woman to change her legal gender without having to undergo gender-reassignment surgery for the first time in Japan, a Missouri judge rejects “blind obedience to the attorney general’s civil investigative demands” when the state seeks unredacted medical records of trans children, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Marcos Najera and Wendy Natividad (produced by Brian DeShazor with technical assistance by Daniel Huecias).
