The Gay Glitter Stereotype; China's Trans Study; Tennessee Town Drops Drag Show Ban

The Gay Glitter Stereotype

This one has me stumped. It's about banning glitter, and they think I should be upset about it.

Now, an environmental anthropologist at Massey University is calling for all the glamour to be gone: She wants glitter to go the way of the Dodo and Dorian Corey.

“I think all glitter should be banned,” Dr. Trisia Farrelly tells The Independent. “Because it’s microplastic.”

Here's the rest.   I'm stumped because not all gay men love glitter. In fact, we don't even think about glitter much. I know I never did.

China's Trans Study

This is disturbing. I think we'll be seeing more studies like this in the future.

A first of its kind study has revealed trans people in China are at high risks of physical violence and discrimination. They also experience worse mental health outcomes than other members of the population.

Here's more. Getting decent medical care seems to be a huge issue.

Tennessee Town Drops Drag Show Ban

I remember posting about this ban a while back. Evidently, things have changed.

After receiving much criticism, the town of Portland, Tennessee dropped its ban on drag shows.

You can read this one, here. They do give you all the back story. The ACLU even got involved. I'm glad there's a follow up to this one. This is a very big deal in small towns.
