QUEER NEWS THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE

It can seem sometimes like all the news these days is bad. We won’t deny there’s a lot of troubling things going on, including a rise in hate crimes. But it’s not all terrible out there! We want to do our best to highlight good news, because while it may seem like the world is filled with hate, there are many individuals who are living their best lives with a rainbow in their heart.

This week’s good news involves Washington state.

While many are reeling for the recent American election, there are some positives. Including Washington state.

Washington state Senator Emily Randall (D) has secured a victory in her race for Congress. She will be the first out queer Latina woman to serve in Congress.

“We did more than win this election: we made history… Together, we shattered three glass ceilings. When I take office in January, I will become the first congresswoman and first person of color to hold this seat, the first openly LGBTQ person to represent Washington state in Congress, and the first ever queer Latina member of Congress.”

That’s all for today.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Friday!
