Queer people are standing firm in strong headwinds, and this week's Good News roundup is here to inspire you and remind you of our community's strength: There are political victories, amazing queer role models, and even some first-rate entertainers to show us how it's done.

And speaking of role models, did you hear about the teen who dazzled his prom in full drag as his teachers and peers cheered him on? How about trans politician Billie Butler who won her race even though Republicans made a website to mock her? And how about the queer Tony Award-winner who used his acceptance speech to call for queer acceptance? Yes folks, that's how you do it!
