✍️ @meth.borrison After 16 weeks of stunning runways, heart-wrenching confessionals, and feuding with one Susanne Toot, Louisville’s Derby Girl, Lexi Love, has finished as a second-runner-up, tied with Sam Starr, on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17. ⁠
⁠
Having a hometown queen not only cast but in the finale of the smash-hit reality competition series brings an electricity to the local queer community akin to hosting the Superbowl, the World’s Fair, or the Olympics (if on a smaller, but no less fervent, scale). Kentucky’s own Monica Beverly Hillz (S5 + AS8), Jade Jolie (S6), Dusty Ray Bottoms (S10), Scarlet Envy (S11 + AS6) have left their own mark on the franchise, local, and national drag scenes alike. But until Lexi’s finale placement, no Commonwealth cuntress has risen to quite the same heights. ⁠

✍️ @queernewsdaily Trans Kentuckians say they

✍️ @queernewsdaily Trans Kentuckians say they are reeling from the combined impact of the state’s recent spate of laws targeting their everyday lives. The legislative onslaught began in 2023, when GOP lawmakers — over Beshear’s objections — forced through a sweeping omnibus bill that some observers deemed to be among the most harmful pieces of anti-trans policy in U.S. history. In addition to restricting gender-affirming medical treatments for trans youth under the age of 18, SB 150 also bars any mention of LGBTQ+ identities in K-6 classrooms, blocks trans youth from using school bathrooms that correspond with their lived identities, and impedes disciplinary action against teachers who misgender trans students.

✍️ @19thnews In 1989, Ronald Johnson did not think he would live to see old age. Johnson, a Black gay man, was diagnosed with HIV that year, during the height of the U.S. AIDS epidemic, when the life expectancy was 1 to 2 years after diagnosis.⁠
⁠
“I just assumed that I would die,” Johnson told The 19th. “I’m from New York City, and particularly before treatments, I was seeing friends and people I know dying. Then going into the ’90s when treatments became available, and there was the struggle to get access to the treatment, dealing with managing the regimen of treatment: the number of pills that you had to take, some had to be refrigerated, some had to be taken before meals, some taken with meals. It was a challenge.”⁠

✍️ @19thnews The U.S. House has passed a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote.⁠
⁠
The Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The legislation purportedly aims to block non-citizens from voting, which is already illegal and is very rare.⁠
⁠
The bill would require an individual to present in person a passport, birth certificate or other citizenship document when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information.⁠
