    Equality in Fertility, Colorado's AI Stand, and LA's Clean Energy Milestone
    Dec 24 2025
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen shares inspiring stories that highlight progress and inclusivity across the nation. A landmark class action lawsuit settlement has led Aetna to provide equitable fertility benefits to LGBTQ members, ensuring same-sex couples can access the same insurance coverage for fertility treatments as their heterosexual counterparts. This monumental decision is set to benefit millions, including 91,000 Californians.

    In Colorado, state lawmakers are pushing forward with their own regulations on artificial intelligence, defying a federal moratorium imposed by Donald Trump. Attorney General Phil Weiser is prepared to defend the state's right to implement protective measures against potential discrimination in AI usage.

    Additionally, Los Angeles has officially ended its reliance on coal power, marking a significant step towards a clean energy future. Mayor Karen Bass emphasized the importance of this transition for both the environment and the city's economy.

    In education news, educators in Minnesota's largest school district have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, signaling their commitment to advocating for better pay and health insurance coverage.

    Lastly, the U.S. Senate has unanimously passed the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act, honoring the historical significance of the land and protecting it for future generations. Meanwhile, in a show of defiance against state censorship, St. Petersburg has installed rainbow-colored bike racks to celebrate LGBTQ pride despite recent removals of street art.

    Join us as we celebrate these uplifting developments and more, proving that positive change is always within reach!
