Pete Buttigieg: Pro-Family is Pro-Every Family


 

People in the US are Moving to Areas More Like Themselves

According to NPR, people on both sides of the political spectrum - those who strongly support hierarchies (red and Republican) and those who mostly want hierarchies to lessen (blue and Democrat) are self-selecting in some cases. 

America is growing more geographically polarized — red ZIP codes are getting redder and blue ZIP codes are becoming bluer. People appear to be sorting.

USA's Brittany Bowe - Only Openly LGBTQ+ Athlete to Carry Country's Flag

USA's Brittany Bowe became the only openly LGBTQ+ athlete at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing to carry her country's flag at the opening ceremonies. This year's number of openly LGBTQ+ athletes is double what it has been in any other Winter Olympics, at 35. 

186 openly LGBTQ+ athletes competed in the summer olympics, bringing home 33 medals. One big difference is that men are more willing to come out, as in 2018, just four of the 15 openly LGBTQ+ athletes were men.
