​'And Just Like That' S3 E3 Recap: Why would a man be there?
Time for another installment of PRIDE’s ongoing Netflix & Chill series, where I watch and review some of the popular movie streaming service’s many LGBTQIA+ films! 
This week, I reviewed Mala Mala, a documentary directed by Antonio Santini and Dan Sickles that chronicles the lives of members of Puerto Rico's transgender community. The doc, which was one of the selections at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, is critically acclaimed for not only its stunning visuals, but for offering a diverse portrayal of trans people and gender nonconforming experiences. 

    

Watch my review in the video below, and let me know what you think of Mala Mala in the comments and on Twitter! And to watch other episodes in the Netflix & Chill series, click here.

        Kat Blaque's Tweets Sum Up How We Feel About Trump's Trans Military Ban

In a series of tweets from earlier this morning, President Donald Trump announced that transgender people are now going to be banned from serving in the United States military.

As The Advocate points out, under a previous policy announced by Ash Carter (defense secretary under President Obama), trans people were able to serve openly and have access to insurance coverage for transition-related medical procedures since last year. But with Trump's new plans, that policy is now being completely reversed. And rightfully, people everywhere are upset about it.
