We’re missing Justin this week but Lucas, our engineer, agreed to join in on the conversation. Catch up on some local news, including a discussion about the inclusion of the singular “they” into the Merriam-Webster dictionary, some controversy with the recent Arizona supreme court decision that would give business owners the power to deny services based on their lgbtq+ status, and more.

Also catch an update from Melanie and her progress with both the LGBTQ+ center and upcoming PFLAG events.

Come support PFLAG on Wednesday, October 3rd, at Western Skateland from 6pm until close. Skate to help raise funds for Bloomington’s PFLAG chapter.
