Simone Biles (the GOAT) Claps Back at Famous 5th Place Loser Riley Gaines' Transphobic Comments, The 2025 Tony Awards, and DC WorldPride's 1,000-Foot Pride Flag!

Today’s Wednesday motto is fuuuuck ICE. We hope everyone in L.A. is safe and supported!Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA): All ResourcesIn today’s episode, Nay and Vico are sharing queer highlights from the Tony Awards — which is perhaps the gayest of all the awards shows. After all, there’s no such thing as a straight Tony Awards! And speaking of winners and losers, we’re getting into the beef between legendary Olympian Simone Biles, literally the GOAT, and Trump’s transphobic poster “athlete” Riley Gaines, who peaked at fifth-place in college and hasn’t let it go since. To quote an excellent burn: "Simone Biles has 11 Olympic medals. Riley Gaines has 11 Fox News appearances complaining about people who actually win medals."WorldPride also wrapped up last Sunday with a lively rally, the International March on Washington for Freedom. The message from the crowd was loud and clear: the queer community is NOT standing down. So yes, WorldPride may be technically over but we've still got 19 more days of June and a lifetime of resistance.PLUS, there’s a Good Gay News VOICEMAIL!!!
