Dolly Parton’s LGBTQ Legacy, Texas Drag Ban Defeated & Hope for Uganda
Why did the loss of Dolly Parton resonate so deeply throughout the LGBTQ community? On this edition of “This Gay Week,” Karel and Scott Douglas Jacobsen of The Good Men Project examine Parton’s enduring legacy as an ally—and why the deaths of certain LGBTQ icons and supporters become defining cultural moments.
Karel and Scott also explore some of the week’s biggest and most surprising LGBTQ stories from around the world:
A Texas judge strikes down the state’s drag ban, cites Dolly Parton, and delivers a priceless response to the governor and other officials.
Help is reaching LGBTQ people in Uganda from an unexpected source in the United Kingdom, providing safe housing, food, community, and hope to people facing persecution.
And what exactly is a “Holy Phallus”—and why does it have France’s right wing so outraged?
