We Celebrate Global LGBTQ+ Wins: Cuba passes a groundbreaking law allowing transgender people to legally change their gender marker without surgery; Saint Lucia's High Court decriminalizes same-sex activity after years of struggle; the Church in Wales elects Cherry Vann, its first openly lesbian Archbishop.

The Air Force Betrays U.S. Military Transgender Service Members: The Air Force reverses approved early retirement benefits for transgender personnel, forcing them out without full benefits, a move many call a betrayal of those who served honorably.

Lori Cannon: The community mourns Lori Cannon, co-founder of ACT UP Chicago and Open Hand Chicago, a tireless advocate during the AIDS crisis and beyond.
