USA TODAY: YouTube's CEO Susan Wojcicki apologizes to LGBTQ people over the company's handling of the Steven Crowder issue — but not really:
It’s just from a policy standpoint we need to be consistent — if we took down that content, there would be so much other content that we need to take down.

CNN: Big victory for LGBTQ rights in Africa — Botswana ends gay-sex laws! Katlego K Kolanyane-Kesupile, a trans activist from the country who is OutRight Action International's Religion Fellow, says:
I'm happy to see that the courts of law in Botswana have opted to support the dignity of Batswana by removing these clauses which render people criminals merely for whom they love. I am proud that this has happened in my lifetime, and look forward to educating Botswana to fully understand what this means to current and future generations of LGBTIQ people and their families. Justice will always shine brighter in the light than hate.

These women told me about being misgendered upon arrest (even post-surgery), &forced in cells w/ men, putting them in extreme risk. It’s hard to get treatments, too.
