I’ve committed to writing one very positive LGBTQ story per week. The world of politics is discouraging (as hell) right now for many queer people, and I will keep writing about those critical issues. Sometimes, however, we need to take a step back and look at real stories on the ground that offer a real counter-narrative. I think today’s story is an important reminder that LGBTQ progress is happening, even in places we might least expect it.
