Hello, weekend!
Have you ever wondered what countries are most supportive of marriage equality? Well, we have the answer for you. Pew recently released its study looking at how countries' populations feel about same-sex marriage. Were there any that surprised you? Were you surprised where the U.S. ended up on the list?
Friday marked the first anniversary of Brittney Griner's release from Russian prison following what the U.S. government labeled as wrongfully detained. The lesbian WNBA superstar was held for months after Russian authorities arrested and charged her for carrying small traces of cannabis oil into the country. At the time, Griner spent the offseason of the WNBA playing in Russia — something many WNBA players due to supplement their pay. She acknowledged the day by calling for the release of other Americans detained abroad.
In an interview published this week, Cary Grant's fourth ex-wife — he was married five times — dished on his sexuality. It's not the first time a family member has discussed the Oscar-winning star who was rumored to be queer.
In other news:

- Bridget Ziegler, the Florida anti-LGBTQ+ political activist in the middle of a scandal in Florida, once allowed a man to be called groomer to his face at a school board meeting. He's now speaking out.
- Looking for some things to watch this month? We got you covered.
Check out these stories and more below. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you on Tuesday.
Onward and upward,

Each week, The Advocate newsletter has a little bit of LGBTQ+ trivia. Tuesday, you'll get the question. Thursday, you'll get a hint. And today, you'll get the answer.
This week's question is: When was The Advocate first published?
This week's answer is: 1967. That's right, we predate the Stonewall uprising. The Advocate was published under the name The Los Angeles Advocate several months after a police raid at L.A. Black Cat Tavern.
