This week on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley:

A federal judge in Springfield rules in favor of protecting students’ gender identities at Ludlow Public Schools. Plus, legislators from Tennessee to Idaho are considering bans on drag shows. And while Pope Francis has expressed support for the LGBTQ community in the past, in perhaps his strongest statement yet, he says homosexuality is not a crime.

Those stories and more on our LGBTQ News Roundtable.
