Now for the news. Our top story is Brittney Griner. She played in her first home regular season game just yesterday. In politics. What city has the most LGBTQ representation on its city council? Do you know? That’s right, it's Chicago. I was there to witness them being sworn in and I want to share my experience with you. Yes ,I have more Florida anti-trans legislation to share and its conspirator states have been busy too. In culture, a long standing Texas bar is denied insurance because they’re seen as too big of a risk given the new anti-drag & anti-trans legislation in Texas. In entertainment, Hayley Kiyoko stands up for queer rights during her show against the warning given by an undercover Nashville police officer. For my Anna’s Got a word I talk about how Thursday we’ll be mourning the third anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. Lots to dig into today family.
