Some news stories you might have missed:

• Pink News: Czech president Miloš Zeman has said he plans to veto proposed legislation that would give same-sex couples the right to get married in the country.

• Media Matters: Media Matters recently shared a clip of Fox News celebrating “America Together: LGBTQ+ Pride Month,” followed by recent examples of its hosts attacking the LGBTQ community.

• Newsweek: In a recent poll, nearly half of all respondents who identified as Republicans (44%) said that mass shootings  are “unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society.” By comparison, 85% of Democrats and 73% of Independents said mass shootings are “something we can prevent and stop if we really tried.”

• Twitter: QAnon Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was horribly offended that a tweet by an account named “Dr. Lyle P. Lysol” had been marked as “misleading” about COVID-19 vaccines. Marge didn’t bother to even look at the source of the tweet where the account is clearly labeled as a satirical account complete with the words “fake doctor” right up front.
