President Joe Biden acknowledged the 25th anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death, a tragic hate crime that has fueled the LGBTQ+ rights movement since 1998. The Shepard family and activists have worked tirelessly to ensure that Matthew's death was not in vain, and Biden condemned the recent uptick in anti-LGBTQ threats and acts of violence. Progress has been made since 1998, such as the scrapping of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy and the striking down of a Texas law criminalizing consensual gay sex.

Kappa Kappa Gamma, a national sorority, has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from seven of its members at the University of Wyoming, who argued that the sorority violated its own rules by admitting a transgender woman. The motion states that the sorority's rules allow for a transgender woman to belong to its University of Wyoming chapter, and that the seven plaintiffs have no legal basis for their claims. The outcome of the case could have implications for other organizations and institutions facing similar issues.
