  "textContent": "We're only 11 days into Pride Month, but Delaware is putting on a show!\n\nAudience Editor Edgar Ramirez back in your inbox on this Thursday, looking at making some travel plans to The First State to get in on the fun.\n\nAs conservative lawmakers across the country target transgender rights and revisit long-settled questions about LGBTQ+ equality, Christopher Wiggins has the latest on how Delaware has moved in the opposite direction: On Tuesday, Gov. Matt Meyer, a Democrat, signed legislation modernizing the state's parentage laws, expanding legal protections for children and families formed through assisted reproduction, surrogacy, donor conception, and other paths to parenthood commonly used by LGBTQ+ people.\n\nAnd although LGBTQ+ advocates championed the legislation, supporters repeatedly stressed that its benefits extend far beyond queer families. So, a win-win for all.\n\nThe legislation was signed the same day Delaware's lone Rep. Sarah McBride attended the Equality PAC's National Pride Gala in Washington, D.C. (with Christopher giving us the scoop from the scene), and shortly after became more iconic on social media.\n\nHappy Pride indeed, Nancy!\n\nKeep on celebrating, folks, and I'll see you next time.\n\n### The internet has turned Rep. Nancy Mace's humiliating election loss into comedy gold\n\n\n\n\n### Delaware strengthens legal protections for LGBTQ+ families as other states move the opposite way\n\n\n\n\n### Doctors ask judge to halt Trump policy targeting trans people living with HIV\n\n\n\n\n### Republicans cannot stop generating images of James Talarico as a woman\n\n\n\n\n### Virginia school accused of failing to protect trans teen from planned attack\n\n\n\n\n### House Republicans accuse leaders of trans-inclusive school systems of ‘child abuse’\n\n\n\n\n### Opinion: The case for 'strategic visibility' this Pride\n\n\n\n\n### How a 'Conversion Therapy Dropout' found belonging after religious trauma\n\n\n\n\n### 'Stop! That! Train!'s queens describe their characters and favorite moments filming\n\n\n\n\n### Rising anti-LGBTQ+ censorship efforts pull directly from the playbooks of modern authoritarian leaders\n\n\n",
