Queer Broadway, Trans Rights Wins & LGBTQ News | Our Spring Update
-

Written by:
Hugh and I are back with a spring check-in packed with LGBTQ+ news, queer Broadway buzz, and hopeful updates on trans rights.
This week on Queer 101, we break down global political shifts, including Viktor Orbán’s loss in Hungary, and react to unexpected queer headlines like Grindr sponsoring part of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Then we dive into a major queer-forward Broadway season — from ballroom culture taking center stage in Cats: The Jellicle Ball to new works like Dog Day Afternoon, a show centered on funding gender-affirming care.
We also spotlight Montana court decisions protecting gender-affirming care for trans youth and access to accurate identification documents, reflect on how Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS activism has evolved since the 1990s, and unpack ongoing anti-trans media narratives shaping public discourse.
Plus, Hugh honors Peppermint’s historic Broadway milestone in Head Over Heels, and we preview Peppermint’s May 26 book release, share our latest LGBTQ book club picks, and talk about what’s next for Queer 101 this spring - holding onto hope, with our eyes wide open
