    Caitlyn Jenner was set to be the guest of honor at Tel Aviv Pride. They just canceled Pride.
    Israel has cancelled Tel Aviv Pride, one of the regions largest Pride events, fearing possible retaliation for Project Rising Lion, Israels Thursday night military offensive, which targeted Irans nuclear and military infrastructure and killed Irans highest-ranking military officer, the head of its elite Revolutionary Guards Corps, and its air force and a former national security chief.Transgender Republican millionaire Caitlyn Jenner had planned on attending the Pride event as a distinguished guest of honor to help improve the countrys global perception. Now, shes expressing solidarity with the Israeli people. Related NYU withholds trans students diploma for condemning Gaza war in graduation speech The crowd applauded, but administrators were likely worried that the U.S. president would notice if they didnt take action against the student. Israel used200 fighter jets to attack Iran on Thursday night. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks may continue for many days. In response, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israel, but the country claimed to have intercepted all the drones. Donald Trump denied any involvement with Israels attack but expressed support for it, urging Iran to end its nuclear ambitions.

Though last year,Iran launched its largest-ever missile attackon Israel in retaliation for thekilling of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others, the publication noted.Israel feared further retaliation might endanger the 150,000 to 250,000 attendees of its annual Tel Aviv Pride event, and so government officials cancelled the event (which was set to begin on Friday).Tel Aviv Pride organizers had invited Jenner as a guest of honor. She addressed the media on Wednesday at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv just hours after arriving, The Jerusalem Post reported.The Israeli people are very open-minded. Theyre friendly, theyre, you know, great for theLGBT community, and nobody knows it, she told the press.

    GOP lawmaker raged at Democrat for making a restroom joke on Twitter. It backfired immediately.
    Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) used a House committee hearing on sanctuary states and immigration policy to berate Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) about a joke he told about restroom use in 2017. It didnt go well for Gill.Pritzker was summoned to the hearing alongside two other Democratic governors Minnesota Gov. Walz and New York Gov. Hochul to explain their states refusal to have their legal authorities aid federal agents with detainment and deportation efforts. Then, Gill tried to have his viral moment, WLS-TV reported. Related Lauren Boebert roasted for thinking she could outsmart a Democratic governor The hypocrisy burns brighter than her IQ. Governor, do you think biological men should be able to use womens restrooms? Gill asked. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Pritzker responded, Im not sure how this has to do with immigration. Gill responded by saying that it was a yes or no question. Pritzker then said he didnt understand, adding, I thought we were here to do fact-finding.Gill then read Pritzkers February 23, 2017, social media post that said, As a protest against Trumps rescinding protections for trans kids, everyone should use the other genders bathroom today.Pritzker, at the time, said that he was not being literal when joking about everyone using the wrong bathroom for a day. Was not being literal. But I think today and every day we should be standing up for all our kids. #ResistTrump JB Pritzker (@JBPritzker) February 23, 2017At the hearing, Gill then asked Pritzker, Have you ever used the womens restroom? Pritzker said, Not that I can recall.Gill responded, So you wanted everybody else to do it, but you didnt.As Pritzker again expressed confusion about the topics relation to the hearing, and as Gill repeated his questions, Pritzker then said that he doesnt advocate for men to use womens restrooms and said that the conversation should be focused on immigration, which was the designated topic of the hearing. Gill asked, Did you ever consider that women dont want you in their bathrooms?Pritzker then asked Gill, So youre admitting that this is just a political circus? This has nothing to do with immigration and is really about you grandstanding. He then pointed out that Gill and his Republican colleagues have voted in favor of cutting social service funding that will cause Gills constituents to die. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ABC 7 Chicago (@abc7chicago)During the hearing, Pritzker said he isnt afraid that administrative officials will try to arrest him. The White Houses border czar Tom Homan recently threatened to arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for interfering with possibly unconstitutional federal immigration raids.I will stand in the way of Tom Homan going after people who dont deserve to be frightened in their communities, who dont deserve to be threatened, terrorized. I would rather that he came and arrested me than do that to the people of my state, Pritzker said.After the hearing, Pritzker said, This hearing was a demonstration of just how bad this Republican-controlled Congress really is, again, nothing accomplished, an entire day of just harping on something that, frankly, most of which was false. And would I say its a waste? I think this entire Republican-controlled Congress is a waste.

    Lessons from a lesbian feminist 1973 Pride-goer: We are at another turning point
    Theres a lot of history packed into the slightly faded color photograph that Lorraine Fontana, a self-described socialist anti-racist lesbian feminist, shared with LGBTQ Nation.Fontana snapped the pic at the Atlanta Pride March in 1973, the first year that ALFA, the Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance that she co-founded, participated as an organization. Related A photographer grabbed an iconic photo when the Obergefell decision was handed down Relationships are built on love, not by their genders. Fontana guesses a few hundred people showed up that day to march down Peachtree Street. Progressive churches turned out supporters along the route; others, the opposite. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Some folks wore paper bags over their heads to both protest anti-gay discrimination and demonstrate how being in the closet was still necessary to many people.At the intersection of Pine and Piedmont, Fontana assembled with friends, and one lover, before stepping off to march. At far left is Freddie Creed, a dyke from Alabama who at the time was being supported nationally against criminal charges for embracing and kissing a woman in a gay bar in Alabama.Creed and her companion had been approached by an undercover vice detective at the Matador bar in Birmingham, as Creed comforted her friend who was in distress. At trial, the detective claimed he could clearly see across the dimly lit bar that the women were fondling one anothers genitals. Who was victimized by our actions? Creed asked in an open letter published in a gay rag at the time, addressed to Dear Gay People and Friends.Creed spoke at the small rally that day in Piedmont Park following the march down Peachtree Street.At center is Mike, who Fontana remembers as a gentle and sweet gay male friend, who may or may not have been a member of the Gay Liberation Front.He had a great sign: I am your worst enemy I am your best fantasy.'At right is Elaine Kolb, Fontanas first woman lover and a co-founder of ALFA.After a trip to Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade in support of the Cuban Revolution and as the only out lesbian in the group Kolb moved to Atlanta and met Fontana when she was living in a household of women who all attended Emory Universitygrad school.She stayed the night, and my first same-sex sexualexperience followed, Fontana recalls.Kolb went on to host the first lesbian-focused radio show in Atlanta, Lesbian Woman on WRFG, the same year she was seen in Fontanas photo. Fontana sees both differences and similarities in the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights then and now.Similarin that we still are often in the midst of identity-based politics, and some orgs still focus on those identities to form their membership. Early activists did have what we now call anintersectional analysis, and our social justice actions touched on not just sexual orientation but issues of class, race, disability, etc., as well as gender.Different, Fontana adds, in that we clearly have an expanded view of identity, and much more recognitionand acceptance frommainstream society, even as we are undergoing another backlash.That backlash should not be a source of despair, she says. Speak up, be out and loud, resist publicly, and look for and support allies in decision-making positions. Solidarity and community are all important.We are at anotherturning point, she says, and more and more people are seeing the danger and speaking out.

    Out lawmakers grill Pete Hegseth over decision to remove Harvey Milks name from Navy ship
    Two out members of Congress, Rep. Eric Sorensen (D-IL) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), both recently grilled Navy Secretary John Phelan and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, respectively, over the administrations recent orders to the Navy toremove Harvey Milks name from a shipduring Pride Month. Their grilling coincides with the sending of a letter to Hegseth on Wednesday, signed by 70 Democrat House members, asking him to rescind his cruel, unnecessary decision to rename the ship.Sorensen questioned Phelan during a Wednesday hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, noting that Milk served in the Navy but was forced to resign over his homosexuality. Sorensen then asked Phelan, Why does this administration no longer believe in honoring Mr. Harvey Milks service to our nation? Related DeSantis drops LGBTQ and Latin people from remarks on Pulse anniversary The callous omission comes as survivors and families visit the site before demolition. Phelan said that Hegseth wants all military installations to reflect the presidents priorities, U.S. history, and the warrior ethos, Advocate reported. Phelan said no final decisions had been made regarding the renaming of vessels, pending a final review. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today When Sorensen asked whether Phelan could tell Hegseth that the government should honor all veterans, Phelan said he believed that the government does. The administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs, something critics say is already hurting veterans. As the only elected LGBTQ person on this committee and the first ever from my home state, I speak for my neighbors and all Americans when I say that Navy veteran Harvey Milk was a warrior in Korea before becoming an elected leader, Sorensen said. I walk in the footsteps of leaders before me. He stood up for the same people who are being targeted, persecuted, and vilified by this administration today. My grandpa taught me to stand up for every veteran and thank them every time I see them, thank them for their service. But picking and choosing who deserves that thanks its not just wrong, it is un-American.In a recent Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing, Baldwin told Hegseth, I think we can all agree that we are at a critical point in our history with respect to global threats, the need to counter adversaries like China and Iran and Im disappointed that you are instead focusing on a class of ships named for civil rights leaders, The Hill reported.Baldwin was referencing Hegseths directive ordering Phelan to rename several new ships named after Milk and other civil rights icons, includingsuffragist Lucy Stone, abolitionist Sojourner Truth, racial justice champion John Lewis, Latina labor activist Dolores Huerta, womens rights suffragette Lucy Stone, Latino civil rights organizer Cesar Chavez, and Black soldier and civil rights activist Medgar Evers.Hegseth said that the Defense Department is not interested in naming ships after activists, adding, Thats the stance were taking.Baldwin also asked Hegseth about any specific assessments the Defense Department conducted beforehand to assess the national security impact of the presidents recent ban on transgender military members. Hegseth couldnt name any such assessment but said he agreed with the presidents belief that mental health issues associated with gender dysphoria that complicate military service and readiness. This belief has been knocked down as discriminatory and untrue in federal court. On Wednesday, 70 Democratic House members senta letterto Hegseth telling him to rescind his decision to rename Milks ship.The Navys records show that Milk was considered very good officer material, and his battalion commander wrote that Milk was a good leader and outstanding,' the letter states. Milks courage inspired countless Americans to confront bigotry and hate against LGBTQI+ people. Naming the USNS Harvey Milk pays tribute to an American who dedicated and gave his life to serving our country in uniform and in public office. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website even recognizes that Milks life and legacy exemplified the Navys core values of honor, courage, and commitment. Ordering this renaming and intentionally timing this announcement to coincide with Pride Month is a cruel insult to tens of thousands of LGBTQI+ individuals currently serving in our nations military and the nearly one million LGBTQI+ Veterans across the country, the letter adds. Combined with your harmful decision to remove transgender service members from the military, your order is just the latest slap in the face to service members and Veterans, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and sends the wrong signal that their service is not valued. The letter calls the renaming a waste of valuable time and resources that does nothing to reestablish the warrior culture or make America more safe and secure, adding, It is actions like these that set a harmful and irresponsible precedent of politicizing our military and our Veterans.The letter was signed by out House members, including Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT), Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), and Rep. Sorensen (D-IL).Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

    Largest-ever survey of trans people reveals the real reason trans people detransition
    The U.S. Trans Survey, considered to be the most extensive survey conducted on trans health in America, reaffirms the fact that gender-affirming care saves and improves lives. The surveys findings indicate that individuals who transitioned and then went back to living as their sex assigned mostly gave the same reason: anti-trans discrimination from their friends and family.Released by Advocates For Trans Equality (A4TE) on June 11, the survey questioned over 84,000 trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people aged 18 and older in 2022. Of all respondents, 9% had detransitioned at some point in their lives. The survey also revealed that a trans persons overall mental health and wellbeing depend upon rates of familial support, which also has a profound influence on ones lifetime experiences and suicidality. Related Support for trans sports participation dropped since states started passing sports bans While Democrats remain more supportive of trans people, support for trans sports participation has dropped since 2021. Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point, the report reads. Its findings demonstrate that Isolation from ones support network can have devastating impacts on ones mental health. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today The surveys findings contradict conservative media narratives about transition regret, which suggest that large volumes of trans people detransition because they later regret their transition as a mistake. The survey found that only a small number of people detransition, and the decision is largely due to external factors. Only 4% of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36%, the surveys report stated. On top of that, 98% of respondents said they felt more satisfied with their lives since transitioning.The survey is also notably important considering that the Trump administration has made efforts to remove trans people from government websites and data, essentially silencing their voices and robbing researchers of crucial information to help make public policy decisions. This erasure makes it easier for the conservative majority to fabricate claims about trans peoples actual lived experiences. Having real concrete and rigorous data about the realities of trans peoples day-to-day lives is also a vital part of dispelling all of those assumptions and stereotypes that plague the public discourse about our community, said Olivia Hunt, A4TEs Director of Federal Policy, during a press briefing this week.The report also touches on trans healthcare between 2015 and 2022. Respondents said that trust between them and their doctors had improved, but the survey also found that racial disparities, with trans people of color more likely to experience violence than white trans people.Additionally, mental health challenges still face the trans community in large numbers: 44% of respondents met the criteria for serious psychological distress, compared to less than 4% of the general U.S. population. Many of these issues are likely exacerbated since 2025 when Trump took office for a second presidential term. He has launched attacks against the trans community that have affected healthcare access, increased anti-trans policies nationwide, and stirred up transphobic vitriol and harassment.Over the years, this surveys large amount of data has been released in increments as A4TE wades through its findings.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

They also offered various free healthcare services at the WeHo Pride Street Fair, including harm reduction materials like spiked drink testing kits, Narcan, and Fentanyl test strips.
