Caitlyn Jenner went off half-cocked in a full MAGA meltdown related to the Trans Day of Visibility, which for the past nine years has been on the 31st. Easter, a roving holiday, happened to also fall on the 31st, thus creating the false outrage. Martina Navratilova called her out for her hypocrisy. Also, Best Buy is the latest brand to come under fire for supporting LGBTQ causes. Finally, the famed Tropicana in Las Vegas has closed after 67 years to make way for a new baseball stadium.
