The shooting caused the death of a trans woman and her mother and left three other victims wounded.

Lightfoot reportedly said it’s “an overstatement” to call the Proud Boys a far-right, anti-gay, antisemitic group.

As a group of young men tried to stop a fight outside of a local gay bar, a car suddenly plowed into them, killed three and injured a fourth.

Social media was abuzz with the claim that Chicago’s first out mayor would step down. She made light of the rumors, but had stern words for serious calls for her to resign as well.

Courtney Eshay Kay’s family told Chicago police that she was a trans woman. They’re still classifying her under the wrong gender.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot has never been shy about standing up for LGBTQ people.

A special prosecutor says Smollett repeatedly lied to police, but he says the police are “maliciously prosecuting” him to cover up its own incompetence.

Jussie Smollett maintains his original claims about being attacked, and now the investigators are under even more scrutiny for their tactics.

He threatened her with jail time unless she did it. The department let him retire after they found out.

“Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career.”
