Halsey Signs to Columbia: Halsey announced they have officially signed to Columbia Records saying “this feels like my debut all over again.” We talk about why it’s significant that Halsey has left Capitol Records and what this means for the future of Halsey’s music.
Megan Fox: The actress opened up about her sons’ choices to wear dresses and explains her journey in researching, understanding, and supporting their decisions in an interview with Glamour UK. This is significant representation in normalizing genderless clothing and opens the conversation to new audiences. Of course, this doesn’t go without scrutiny from the Republican party as fuel for anti-trans rhetoric.
Demi Lovato: In an interview with GQ Hype Spain, Demi Lovato explains their reasoning for re-adopting she/her pronouns in addition to they/them pronouns. Demi said “I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting.” Many publications misquoted Demi in clickbait headlines, claiming that Demi was exhausted of using they/them pronouns. We address the nuances of Demi’s quotes and how the media plays a role in harmful misrepresentation.
