Hey there!
🏕️ A private gay campground in Texas is facing mounting backlash from across the LGBTQ+ community—particularly from the bear community—after reaffirming and then deleting a post about a policy banning transgender men from its property. They made the post on Trans Day of Visibility...really. 🙃
👏🏽 Days after being dropped as the featured entertainer at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, comedian and writer Amber Ruffin made a surprise appearance on NBC’s Late Night with Seth MeyersMonday night to respond to the controversy.
🌲 While the Trump administration continues its campaign to erase transgender people from public life—including from historic federal landmarks—those who once wore the National Park Service uniform are refusing to stay silent.
Onwards and upwards,
