That’s what the sign held by legendary gay rights activist Urvashi Vaid said—as she interrupted a press conference by then president George Bush Sr in 1990. She died at the age of 63 over the weekend—and the LGBTQ+ community is mourning the loss of a “visionary” and fearless warrior. Advocate pays tribute to her amazing career. 

Something very fun: We’ve been meaning to host a fun get-together with our splainer fam for a very long time. Something to help us get to know each other—and have a really good time. So we are hosting our first ever online pub quiz this weekend—on Saturday, May 21 at 5:00 pm. It will be hosted by our books editor Anushree Kaushal—who is also an awesome quiz master. Don’t worry—the questions won’t be all about books lol! So sign up to join us for an hour of uncomplicated mazaa on Zoom. A beer in hand is entirely optional!  Coming soon: An in-person splainer birthday party in Bangalore!
