This week on the Queer News podcast Anna DeShawn shares updates on a couple of stories she’s been following. The stories of Nex Benedict and Chevy Hill. We also need to share news about Alex Franco, a trans man who was murdered in Utah. In politics, let’s celebrate another win this week. Over 40 anti-LGBTQ riders did not get passed in the recent spending bill that passed to avoid a government shutdown. In culture and entertainment, two trans women are getting some form of justice. I have to show some love to Jarrett Hill & Tre’Vell Anderson for winning a NAACP Image award. And Amari, a Black trans woman, gets a ticket to the next round of American Idol. Let’s go!
Family, it’s your favorite queer radio personality Anna DeShawn and this is Queer News. Your fav weekly news pod where race & sexuality meet politics, culture, and entertainment.
Family, next thing is I want to invite you to drop me your Queer News tips. The Queer News tip line is open and you can get the link the show notes. I want to report on the stories that don’t make the news or a blog. So many things are happening locally and I’d love to amplify them here.

From ancestral connections to the power of dreams, we talk about our spiritual journey’s and how that informs their everyday lives. We also talk about Juju’s adventures on the hit Hulu show “Living for the Dead”, the relaunch of her podcast, “A Little Juju Podcast”, and the upcoming release of her first book “The Book of Juju”. This is a special interview with a powerful Black Queer woman making an impact by living out her call. I’ve got lots more interviews in store so go to our Youtube and subscribe today.
