This month marks 8 years of writing the LGBTQ+ column for @ExposedMagSheff It's been amazing watching our scene grow during that time It may seem like we dont have a scene as large as some of the other cities with a 'village' but there are so many pop up events across the city

Twitter has eliminated part of its hate speech policy that protected #trans people from online abuse - Anti-#LGBTQ + hate has risen dramatically on Twitter since ⁦@elonmusk⁩ took over the site. lgbtqnation.com/2023/04/twitte…

Hat-tip to Monday's #ACMS guests, among them the tuneful @bleedingobvs, the well-captioned @bechillcomedian, conch captain @stevepretty (who DOES have more in his life than just shells, he INSISTED), and @katiepritchards with a singing tribute to Julie Walters' Two Soups.
