While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

The biggest supporters of trans people are lesbian and bisexual women. The media’s framing of trans rights as a threat to women is as disingenuous as it is deplorable. After all, the political attacks against abortion and women’s rights come from the same governments opposing trans existence.
While some people like to vocally claim that the rights of cis lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people are “threatened” by trans rights, it’s worth reminding folks that the vast majority of us support trans and non-binary people in our communities. Our lives, like our rights, are secured together.
