A Special Pride Episode: Just Anna - Raw Reflections on Pride, Resistance & Rising Hate
In this special episode of Queer News, Anna drops the script and speaks directly from the heart. As Pride Month begins amidst a wave of political attacks, rising hate crimes, and corporate retreat, Anna reflects on the importance of joy as resistance and why we must never stop telling our stories. From celebrating her upcoming WorldPride panels in DC to spotlighting a heartbreaking hate crime in Illinois, this episode is raw, unfiltered, and full of fire. We also hear from contributor Jake Wittich of Windy City Times, who reports on a recent anti-LGBTQ hate crime in Illinois that's rocked the local community. If you're moved by the story, please consider donating to the survivor's GoFundMe — the link is in the show notes. This is not just news — this is truth-telling, soul-centering, and community care. Pod in, family. This one's for us. 💜 00:26 Welcome to Queer News 01:29 Leave a Queer News Tip, Email info at e3radio.fm or leave a message here https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/243669/19/rc6z5z67pp1op502 01:56 Join the QCrew, https://bit.ly/JoinQCrew 02:54 Queer News Headlines 03:08 Your Mental Health Coverage Is Just As Important As Your Physical Health Coverage, https://getcovered.illinois.gov/resources/mental-health-parity.h 03:38 Howard Brown launches new testing site 04:17 Anna Speaks 18:12 Learn more about the Help Stop Hate Campaign, https://ilstophate.org/ 18:42 Hate Crimes On The Rise, with Jake from windycitytimes.com 25:26 Anna's Got A Word 🌈✊🏾🏳️⚧️✨ 📣 Stay Connected Subscribe for news & queer deals: Queer News Newsletter, https://bit.ly/QueerNews Follow Anna @annadeshawn on social for the latest queer news updates!
