Here we ghouls! It’s time again for the weekly roundup of the biggest lesbian news that happened to come across the feed of one logged-on lesbian. It might not be the biggest lesbian news, but it’s the biggest news I know about! Sorry/you’re welcome. We got a couple of treats and a couple of tricks in here, but nothing too spooky. Bogota’s First Female, Lesbian Mayor Patty Suescún – Wikipedia

Delta cut the words ‘lesbian,’ and ‘vagina’ as well as a sex scene from the movie Booksmart. This is at least the fourth incident of Delta airlines censoring homosexual themes in their movies.

However, according to her, and the director Olivia Wilde, the movie made no sense without that scene. Keeana Kee Has a New Single

In what was definitely the scariest news of the week, some 700 protesters surrounded the Toronto Public library while feminist critic and strident defender of lesbian-only spaces, Meghan Murphy, spoke about the harms to women posed by gender identity legislation. Transactivists hounded and attacked librarian Vickery Bowles demanding she cancel the event, and a special meeting of the city council with claims that the event was a danger to trans-identified people.
