Queer folks remain at the center of the culture war, especially the trans community. Congress and state legislatures continue to introduce bills to restrict LGBTQ+ rights and make it more difficult to be a queer person in general. Here in Nebraska, the reactionary majority in the Unicameral are once again gearing up to prevent trans kids from being able to play sports or use public restrooms according to their identified gender under the pretense of "protecting women." And the queer community and its allies will continue to fight back in unprecedented numbers!
The Black Cat House is once again joining forces with our friends at OutNebraska to take a closer look at the political situation for LGBTQ+ folks here in 2025. They will help us to be more aware of the specific bills that are coming our way in this legislative session. And hopefully we can all continue to discuss how we will continue to resist this cultural backlash.
As always, our events are free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
