If Dolly Parton can be canceled, we’re in serious trouble.
I wrote a thing about right-wing attempts to cancel the uncancellable @DollyParton that has been trending. Catch me live on @CNN later this eve to chat about it.

"Eilish’s 'Lunch' is a brilliant reinvention of our freedom of queer expression, and it comes at a most desperate time," writes @bubballie. #PrideMonth cnn.com/2024/06/01/opinions/…
I'm hereby declaring @billieeilish's "Lunch" the official Pride anthem of 2024!
Thanks to @cnn for giving me a tremendous platform and voice to talk about important issues like LGBTQ equality.
Happy Pride!

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week!
I'm celebrating by being a lesbian (and sharing this piece I wrote for @cnn).
"We inhabit, in my view, the best parts of femininity and masculinity," writes @bubballie. "I can both throw a football with my child and cuddle them to my bosom with pure maternal zeal."

This tragic story smells of massive coverup.
There is a school, hospital, police department and community that have some serious explaining to do.
We must hold them accountable and secure justice for the death of 16-year-old Nex.

There’s no compassion, humanity or Christianity in this statement from the Archdiocese of New York - read more from @bubballie cnn.com/2024/02/19/opinions/…
The incredible @ceciliagentili72 was honored at St. Patrick's Cathedral in a funeral fit for a queer queen.
Then the Catholic Church issued a scathing statement, calling the funeral "deceptive," "scandalous" and a "sacrilege."
My clapback in @cnn.

Here are the 23 top LGBTQ news stories of 2023 nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news… via @nbcnews
I know how lucky I am to have published work in the world's top news outlets, but I've also been rejected consistently for work I've submitted to literary journals.
That makes it all the more gratifying to see my first literary journal publication: grandedameliterary.com/post/…
Thanks to @cnn for including my voice in this fun 2024 Crystal Ball predictions story!
