Tune in for your weekly update of LGBTQ+ news, including abortion legislation, a resolution to modify medical terminology regarding what had been called a “gender identity disorder,” and the Trump administration’s decision to strip ACA protections from transgender folk and people who have had an abortion. However, it all ends on a more positive note, with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising from which sprang our enduring LGBTQ+ Rights Movement.
Following our news update, we have Jennifer Bass in the studio to air the next episode from her podcast, Just Married. Joining her is Aaron and Kasey from the episode to discuss their story.

Events:
The Spencer Pride Festival is the largest event held on the Owen County Courthouse square. The purpose of the festival is to provide a place of celebration & educational opportunity within our rural community. Pride Festivals have a rich history within the movement of LGBTQ+ equality, & Spencer Pride is a unique example. Spencer Pride is 100% family-focused & welcomes individuals of all ages & backgrounds. Regardless of how you identify, you are welcome at Spencer Pride for a full-day of free, family fun!
Free HIV testing will be available from 2-4 PM as will many other services throughout the day. HIV testing is provided by Positive Link (a program of IU Health Bloomington).
The festival is pet-friendly and dogs with responsible owners are welcome. In fact, this will be the third year that our event will feature a Pet Pride Parade presented by Elanco, with those furry members of our families participating to help us raise awareness to the need for the spaying and neutering of animals. The Spencer Pride Pet Parade will take place at 3:30 PM on the south side of the Owen County Courthouse. THIS IS A NEW TIME THIS YEAR, IN ORDER TO BE COOLER FOR THE PETS!
Live, local entertainment will be on the Ivy Tech Stage & in the Gathering place of the Spencer Pride commUnity center throughout the day. Keep checking our website for updates on our planned entertainment. Our emcee is Sheryl Daniels, who has served in the role for many years now and is a crowd favorite.

Our two breakfasts are always the first Wednesday and the third Friday of the month at 10am. We meet at the Cloverleaf South Restaurant on Winslow at Henderson, behind the IU Credit Union in a shopping center that also has Avers Pizza and a hardware store. Anywhere from 12-25 of us sit at one long table; they just add more chairs and tables as our group grows.
