I love Video Games & Cooking <3
i'm consistently impressed by the LGBTQ+ coverage that KXAN does. You rarely, if ever, see local TV news stations do any worthwhile coverage of LGBTQ+ people that treats them like real people. It's a testament to people like Cora that KXAN is doing strong, thoughtful work about queer Texans.
Co-worker and I put in a lot of effort on this story for @kxan.com today.
As always, the local trans community was ready to give their voices to our coverage:

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

This is what America's conservative "Christians" are doing to the planet's most vulnerable children.
I know this is brutal to look at, my friends, but we all need to face reality and bear witness to what happens when greedy billionaires cut off aid to the world's poorest children.
How callous do you have to be to let children suffer and die to line the pockets of the wealthy and well-connected?
