Happy Trans Awareness Month, Voting Day is Tomorrow, & Chicago leather bar, Touche’, holds a town hall after it hires a racist ventriloquist

Now for the news. It’s time to vote. The midterm elections are tomorrow, and the stakes are high for all of us that believe in democracy & especially the underrepresented. November kicked off Transgender Awareness Month and spotlights important issues facing trans people across the country. Next up, Dwyane Wade’s 15-year-old trans daughter, Zaya, is now at the center of a court battle after Dwyane’s ex-wife had the court prevent the change of Zaya’s legal name and gender. A leather bar right here in Chicago is in hot water after inviting a white ventriloquist to perform racist jokes using a Black puppet he called “Sista Girl”…you can’t make this stuff up. Let’s go!
