Hi all,
π βHon, Iβm a family member!β Cyndi Lauper told The Advocate's Desiree Guerrero in the most recent cover story. Lauper opened up about her career and being an advocate for all. Haven't read it? What are you waiting for?
ποΈ The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that U.S. citizens do not have βa fundamental liberty interestβ in bringing noncitizen spouses to the country, leading Justice Sonia Sotomayor to issue an impassioned dissent warning that the court is on the way to undermining marriage rights for same-sex couples.
π Have you heard of Project 2025? If you haven't, you will soon enough. Basically, Project 2025 is a blueprint of what far-right activists want from the next conservative president β and Trump is the conservative whoβs running. It includes plans to fire as many as 50,000 career federal employees and replace them with people who have unquestionable loyalty to the president; restrict access to contraception; possibly implement a national abortion ban; cut federal health care programs; and much more, designed to make the U.S. an authoritarian nation. And LGBTQ+ people are directly in its crosshairs. Here's what you need to know. π¨
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper

Look, the answer!
Each week, The Advocate newsletter has a little bit of LGBTQ+ trivia. Tuesday, you'll get the question. Thursday, you'll get a hint. Today, you'll get the answer.
This weekβs question is: When was the first Pride Parade?
The answer: 1970. Pride parades as we know them began as a way to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising, which catalyzed the LGBTQ+ rights movement in 1969.
