Tuscan Hate Crime Claimed Two of Our Own, Dr. Everton Blair Won in Georgia & Reeling Chicago's LGBTQ+ Film Festival Returns

This week on the Queer News podcast, our top story is a tragic one. We remember our two family members who were killed outside of the Venture-N gay bar in Tuscan, Arizona. In politics, Dr. Everton Blair wins in Georgia and makes gay history. In Arkansas politics, a librarian fired for opposing the censorship of LGBTQ+ books wins a massive settlement. In culture and entertainment, Lil Nas X's mom passes away and Chicago's LGBTQ+ Film Festival Reeling Returns Sep 17th - 27th. Let's get into it!
