WorldPride is in Washington, D.C. this year. The Trump administration is prompting fears, mixed emotions.

What we know about canceled LGBTQ events at the Kennedy Center This year, WorldPride is coming to Washington, D.C. A series of events, organized by the nonprofit InterPride, aims to bring visibility and awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer issues to an international stage. This year's location is leaving the community conflicted about showing up to the nation's capital amid an administration that has targeted them. Zoe Stoller, a licensed social worker based in Philadelphia, said they're excited to be amongst the queer and trans community at WorldPride, but told CBS News the Trump administration has "definitely been on my mind." "D.C. is not necessarily a place that many people would think of as super safe and comfortable right now, given the current administration and their attacks on the LGBTQ community, especially trans people, especially trans youth," they said. Meg Ten Eyck, founder and CEO of travel platform EveryQueer and vice chairman of the board of directors for the International LGBTQ Travel Association, has been to dozens of Pride events across the world, from the miles-long parade at New York City's WorldPride to a Pride in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2015 that was targeted with Molotov cocktails amid protests. "What is happening socially and politically changes the feeling of the Pride that you are attending," she said, adding she anticipates WorldPride this year is going to bring "an astronomical amount of fear and sadness from people" as well as some potential violence. "I think the community is terrified, and I think our instinct as humans is to want structure and to want answers," she said. "There will be a lot of people who are drawn to this particular pride as a giant 'F*** you' to the administration, and there will be a lot of people who are incentivized into negative behaviors that may not necessarily be characteristic of who they are because of that fear and misinformation and general dissatisfaction with human rights violations that are happening in a lot of different ways." New York City's annual Pride March commemorates the 1969 uprising by members of the LGBTQ community at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. Bing Guan/Bloomberg via Getty Images Comments across social media have also highlighted the mixed emotions. In a video about WorldPride posted to TikTok earlier this month, a top comment with more than 2,000 likes says: "Being real... I'm not going this year. I'm scared." Another reads: "Couldn't pay me enough to attend a mass gathering like this in this political climate." But others had a different take, including this commenter who wrote: "Don't let them make us scared we deserve happiness too." While some may choose to skip this year's events due to safety concerns, Stoller predicts their absence will be filled with others eager to take a stand. "Folks who may not have attended in the past, might not have felt motivated to show up, to protest, to be in this current political climate and make their voices heard — those folks might come out of the woodworks," they said. For those with layered identities, navigating Pride this year is even more complex. David D. Marshall, founder and CEO of Journey to Josiah Inc., a Baltimore-based adoption nonprofit, said the feeling of a "robust need to fight" is met with the reality that, for people of color, showing up is a "a whole different experience" to White LGBTQ people. "There is a fear in general when it comes to black people, because there is a direct target put on our backs when it comes to any sort of protest," he said, adding "it's a time for people of different privilege, or allies, to show up." And for others, more pressing matters are taking precedence over the problems posed by Pride. "When we're thinking about the grand scheme of things, (Pride) just hasn't been on the list," Marshall admitted, adding his own organization is grappling with federal funding cuts and those in his circles are "fighting to maintain our own livelihoods" amid the dismantling of DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – roles. "The option to fold is not there, because the work still needs to be done. The need has not gone anywhere but there are now some additional barriers," he said. Why is WorldPride in D.C.? While the Trump administration has rolled back several protections for LGBTQ people, especially for trans individuals, WorldPride locations are bid on years in advance, meaning the nation's capital was decided before President Trump was re-elected. "No one could have anticipated what was going to happen," Ten Eyck said, adding there are fears around what the administration may do if there are protests on federal land, since it would be their jurisdiction. "(For some people), federal charges result in you losing your career and your income and your stability." But there's an important distinction between who's in office and who makes up the city, she added. "Yeah, (Mr.) Trump has the White House and sort of lives in D.C., but the District of Columbia goes deeply democratic in every single election, regardless of who's in the federal administration. So, having and hosting a large global pride celebration is aligned with the citizens of D.C.'s politic and will, but it is not aligned with the federal government stance." Members and allies of the LGBTQ community cheer on a Pride car parade as it leaves from Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC. Drew Angerer / Getty Images Stoller, who has more than 50,000 Instagram followers, has seen this contrast causing discussions among their online community as well, with many questioning whether it's safe or appropriate to attend. "D.C. still can be a very safe, open, accepting place. But of course, the people who are in charge, who now are living in D.C. definitely affect the vibes and feelings of that," they said. The Trump administration has already made itself known ahead of the celebration. Last month, several Pride events at the Kennedy Center were canceled or relocated as the institution pivots under President Trump's leadership. June Crenshaw, deputy director of nonprofit organization Capital Pride Alliance that is helping host to WorldPride, said the organization is finding other paths for the celebration, but added, "the fact we have to maneuver in this way is disappointing." According to the WorldPride website, "top-to-bottom safety protocol" is in place, assuring the same level of preparation as high-security events like inaugurations. "Efforts include pre-event web-related surveillance, on-site security/police, advanced life support stations, roving medic teams, aerial surveillance and anti-scaling systems and barricades where applicable," the site notes. "The 2-day street festival will be fenced with a secure entrance. Capital Pride is augmenting DC's efforts with additional private security." How to celebrate Pride outside of Washington, D.C. If unsure about attending WorldPride this year, Stroller encourages people to prioritize their emotional and physical safety above all else. "If you are feeling worried for your safety, for your emotions, for your well-being, listen to your gut," they said. People march during the Pride Parade in Boston, Massachusetts. JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP via Getty Images Black LGBTQ people are also having to figure out another approach "that may not necessarily be showing up in these very public spaces," Marshall added. "Does that mean that one group has decided not to fight? No, it's a matter of how. What is going to be the thing that is not going to cost us our lives?" he said. Ten Eyck adds there are plenty of ways to "show up" for the community without being in Washington physically, including supporting your local Pride party or LGBT center as well as "putting your money where your morals are." "If you're a federal employee who can fight from the inside, if you're a teacher who can fight from the inside, if you're a public health professional who can fight from the inside, we need you more in those roles than we need you on the National Mall," she said.

Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as only repeat winners at Memorial

DUBLIN, Ohio — Scottie Scheffler is winning with such alarming regularity that describing his dominance is not a comfortable topic. So when he won the Memorial on Sunday for the second straight year, he at least had tournament host Jack Nicklaus at his side. Nicklaus is a great authority when it comes to Scheffler because the Golden Bear sees so much of himself in the world's No. 1 player.

ADA Issues New MASLD Guidelines

A new consensus report from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) provides a practice-oriented framework for screening and managing metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in people with diabetes and prediabetes. Published online on May 28, 2025, in Diabetes Care, the report is a comprehensive update to the recommendations the ADA released in 2023. It is intended for clinicians treating patients with diabetes — primarily type 2 diabetes (T2D) — but also type 1 diabetes with obesity and prediabetes. Topics covered include the rationale for the recent change in terminology, epidemiology, fibrosis risk stratification, monitoring, treatment, and referral guidance, with interprofessional team management emphasized throughout. 'This will provide primary care doctors and anyone taking care of people with diabetes the tools to diagnose [MASLD] early and guide therapy…to prevent cirrhosis, and refer to the hepatologist as needed for additional therapy and monitoring,' lead author Kenneth Cusi, MD, professor of medicine at the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism in the Department of Medicine at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, told Medscape Medical News . The guidelines recommend that clinicians routinely screen people with T2D or prediabetes for MASLD. 'We explain that the liver should be incorporated into our management in the same way we do for chronic kidney disease, eye disease, and nerve disease as an end-organ damage that is particularly affected by diabetes,' Cusi said. In the United States, at least 70% of people with T2D have MASLD, about half of whom have the more progressive form termed metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH). About 1 in 5 with T2D have advanced liver fibrosis. The presence of MASH increases the risks for complications including cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and overall mortality, according to the new consensus report. Liver disease has not been a focus of diabetes management until recently, Cusi noted. 'We didn't think about it. The epidemic of obesity, and with that, of diabetes, is driving this liver disease. The obesity epidemic has had a big worsening since the 1990s, so this damage in the past 20 or 30 years is just now becoming evident in the liver.' Terminology Change: Highlighting Insulin Resistance, Reducing Stigma The document reviews the current nomenclature for SLD, which was officially changed in 2023 to remove the words 'fatty' and 'alcoholic.' Now, MASLD is defined as the presence of SLD with at least one metabolic risk factor such as obesity, hypertension, prediabetes, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or T2D, with minimal or no alcohol consumption (< 20 g/d for women; < 30 g/d for men). The term 'MetALD' is used for those with MASLD who also have increased alcohol consumption (20-50 g/d for women; 30-60 g/day for men). Steatosis in the setting of alcohol consumption above those levels is termed 'alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD).' The term MASH is defined as steatohepatitis with at least one metabolic risk factor and minimal alcohol consumption. 'At-risk MASH' refers to steatohepatitis with clinically significant fibrosis (stage F2 or higher). Diagnosis: Staged Screening for Fibrosis The document recommends routine screening of people with T2D, prediabetes, and/or obesity with cardiovascular risk factors, with the goal of identifying those with high-risk MASH. Intervention is then aimed at preventing fibrosis progression and cirrhosis. A graphic diagnostic algorithm advises initial use of the noninvasive Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) tool, which risk stratifies based on age, liver enzymes, and platelet count. 'The FIB-4 is composed of very simple things that are already in the electronic medical record of all patients. We also discuss the role of electronic medical records to improve implementation,' Cusi said. Those with a FIB-4 < 1.3 have a low risk for future cirrhosis and can be managed in primary or team care with optimized lifestyle and repeated FIB-4 every 1-2 years. If the FIB-4 is > 2.67, direct referral to a liver specialist is advised. If FIB-4 is between 1.3 and 2.67, a second risk-stratification test is recommended. Ideally, this would be a liver stiffness measurement (LSM), most commonly with transient elastography. If that is unavailable, an alternative is the noninvasive enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test. If the LSM is < 8.0 kPa or ELF is < 7.7, the fibrosis risk is low and routine management can continue with repeat testing in 1-2 years. But if higher, hepatology referral is recommended. Treatment: Lifestyle, Plus Old and New Drugs The report details lifestyle modification for MASLD, including nutrition plans; physical activity; behavioral health; and the role of diabetes self-management, education and support. The role of obesity treatment in people with MASLD, both metabolic surgery and pharmacotherapy, is also discussed at length. No current pharmacologic treatments have been approved for MASLD, but both semaglutide and tirzepatide have demonstrated benefit in treating MASH and are approved for treating T2D, obesity, and other related comorbidities. A thyroid hormone receptor beta agonist, resmetirom, was approved in early 2024 for the treatment of MASH with fibrosis stages F2 and F3, but is extremely expensive at about $50,000 a year, Cusi noted. An older, generic glucose-lowering drug, pioglitazone, has also shown benefit in reducing fibrosis and may be a lower-cost alternative. The document also includes a section on alcohol intake, which complicates the MASLD picture, Cusi noted. 'We think that this is going to help doctors to consider alcohol, which is often overlooked and under-reported. If patients have moderate fibrosis, they should completely quit alcohol.' Cusi has received research support (to his institution) from Boehringer Ingelheim, Echosens, Inventiva, Labcorp, and Perspectum, and has served as a consultant for Aligos Therapeutics, Arrowhead, AstraZeneca, 89bio, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Novo Nordisk, ProSciento, Sagimet Biosciences, Siemens USA, Zealand Pharma, and Terns Pharmaceuticals.
