#shortStory;Adele was a fictional character for one night at a Halloween costume party. Although a fleeting presence, she left a big impression. They were talking about her in Pagosa Springs for years after her brief visit.

"To date there have been limited Aotearoa-specific population-based studies that provide insight into the diversity of whānau with rainbow parents, and existing national child and family cohort studies have not collected parents’ gender and sexuality data. This erasure is perpetuated at a service level, with many health and education providers failing to ask about or record parent identity and family organisation."

Queer friends, can you please weigh in on this question? If you are straight and want to signal ally/solidarity, is a rainbow pin/ progressive rainbow pin on your clothes acceptable? Or does this signal you are a member of the rainbow community, and you should pick something that specifically signals 'ally.' As a queer person, this is not a question I've thought about until now; asking for my Dad who wants to show support.

"Despite assurances to “let us know if there’s anything we can do,” my questions about how police respond – or don’t – to threats at community events were sent to the OIA department. When I got responses, they were disappointing.
...
If you can’t rely on police to turn up when literal neo-Nazis storm your event, it’s difficult to ensure your attendees and performers are safe."

There are actually many musical artists currently challenging Nashville's gatekeeping bullshit and I love it.

Some of us queer country music fans are excited about this new song by Orville Peck featuring Willie Nelson:
