Family, this is your favorite queer radio personality Anna DeShawn and you're listening to Queer News, your weekly pod where race & sexuality meet politics, culture, and entertainment. Only on E3 Radio. This week, I'm coming to you with a heart full of gratitude and a story full of hope. Amidst a chaotic week caring for my family, a bright moment stopped me in my tracks: Lambda Legal won a massive legal victory that restored $6.2 million in funding to LGBTQ+ and HIV organizations. I knew we had to talk about it. So I sat down with Jose Abrigo, Lambda's HIV Project Director, to break it all down. Because even when the world feels heavy, there's still good news worth celebrating.

Iowa & University of Pennsylvania remove protections for our trans siblings, Artis Restaurant needs our support and Noah's Arc makes history - July 7, 2025
This week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn is holding space for the hard and the hopeful as Iowa becomes the first state to strip gender identity from civil rights protections, and UPenn caves to Trump's threats, erasing Lia Thomas' NCAA wins. We hear about the family of Chyna Long, a Black trans woman, finally getting some justice in court. Then there's resilience too: nearly 100,000 march for Pride in Budapest despite a government ban, Noah's Arc: The Movie makes Black queer history on Paramount+, and Chicago's Artis restaurant fights to stay open after tragedy. From heartbreak to historic wins, let's get into it. Want to support this podcast? 🏳️🌈Join the QCrew: If you believe LGBTQ stories need to be amplified, support the work we do.

The Supreme Court fails trans youth, NIH grant cuts ruled discriminatory, and Black queer joy shines in Noah's Arc: The Movie - June 23, 2024
This week on Queer News, we begin with the sounds of the Gender Liberation movement, protesting the United States v. Skrmetti decision, which upholds Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. We remember Taylor Casey, who disappeared one year ago in the Bahamas, and report on the Trump administration's cruel move to defund the LGBTQ youth lifeline. But there's a spark of justice—Reagan-appointed judges are ruling for the people, declaring NIH grant cuts unconstitutional. And in Culture & Entertainment, joy wins with the long-awaited premiere of Noah's Arc: The Movie, reviewed by our dynamic duo Benjamin Coy & Corey Antonio Rose. Plus, The Ultimatum: Queer Love returns with more lesbian drama and messy television we can't stop watching. 🏳️🌈Join the QCrew: If you believe LGBTQ stories need to be amplified, support the work we do.

In this episode of Queer News, Anna breaks down one of the most significant legal wins for trans rights this year—a federal judge blocking Trump's ban on gender-affirming care for incarcerated trans folks.

Plus, we celebrate the power of protest and performance: four drag queens crashing Trump's Kennedy Center return with defiance and dignity. Contributor Benjamin Coy takes us to the Native Son Gala, a night honoring the brilliance of Black gay and queer men.

A Special Pride Episode: Just Anna - Raw Reflections on Pride, Resistance & Rising Hate
In this special episode of Queer News, Anna drops the script and speaks directly from the heart. As Pride Month begins amidst a wave of political attacks, rising hate crimes, and corporate retreat, Anna reflects on the importance of joy as resistance and why we must never stop telling our stories. From celebrating her upcoming WorldPride panels in DC to spotlighting a heartbreaking hate crime in Illinois, this episode is raw, unfiltered, and full of fire. We also hear from contributor Jake Wittich of Windy City Times, who reports on a recent anti-LGBTQ hate crime in Illinois that's rocked the local community. If you're moved by the story, please consider donating to the survivor's GoFundMe — the link is in the show notes. This is not just news — this is truth-telling, soul-centering, and community care.
