LGBTQ legend Urvashi Vaid makes her earthly transition, domestic terrorism invades Buffalo, New York, Brittney Griner’s detainment extended & pro-choice rallies take place across the country – Monday, May 16, 2022

What is the leading story for today? Is it Urvashi Vaid passing away? Is it Buffalo? Is it Brittney Griner? Is it Roe v. Wade? In this moment as a Black queer woman all of my identities are being activated and attacked. It’s really hard to put into words all of my feelings. My anger, my frustration, my sadness. How the very pieces that make me who I am are hated by so many. Oh but how grateful I am for this platform so I can have a place to speak it and share it with you. We touch on each of these stories today because all of them deserve our time.
