PINK NEWS: Joe Rogan, no friend of LGBTQ people, is defending Bud Light in the tiresome Dylan Mulvaney controversy. He points out it's stupid to punish a company for trying to add consumers. This reasonable argument is bull coming from him — it originates from his and others' realization that hey, Budweiser is actually a HUGE GOP cash cow. It's also an argument easily swatted down by transphobes because the entire reason they object is not that Bud is pushing a trans agenda or trans rights — they object because doing anything at all with any trans person constitutes an endorsement. In their minds, acknowledging a trans person is a person is the offense. Allowing trans people to exist is the offense. They want trans people eradicated. Many, if not most, would like the same for gay people, including the tired bastard who say they're gay but are proudly anti-trans. They hate you, too.

VARIETY: Judy Blume is against rewriting books with offensive, outdated language, but also champions the single most banned book at the moment: Gender Queer:
I just read a book that was wonderfully enlightening to me. It’s called Gender Queer [a memoir by Maia Kobabe]. It’s probably the No. 1 banned book in America right now. And I thought, “This young person is telling me how they came to be what they are today.” And I learned a lot, and became even more empathetic. That’s what books are all about.
