Looking for a weekend read? Check out this beautiful story about Kayla Stra, one of racing’s best jockeys, and one of the few in the game who are women.
“In 2013, a race official banned Stra from the jockeys’ room at the now-defunct Betfair Hollywood Park for breastfeeding her infant son. “It was such a strange thing,”
she says. “It wasn’t a big deal to anyone, but he felt like he had to take a stand.” California Horse Racing Board chairman David Israel intervened, quickly overturning the ban and assuring female jockeys they can breastfeed anywhere they like.”
GOOD’s 💰Money💰 issue is on stands now! Pick it up to read stories about a female horse jockey racing to win in a male-dominated sport, teen shoplifters on Tumblr, and how your 401(k) is funding the gun industry.
The first thing you must decide as a gay man about to attend a Trump rally is what you’re going to wear. When I looked down at what I was currently wearing—a purple zip hoodie, blue jeans, gray sneakers, an electric green watch, and a pair of purple-framed eyeglasses—I realized I needed to step back into the closet for an evening. Will loaned me his dark green jacket; my coat was too black, too edgy, too chic, so it would stay behind. Jeff’s beige boots were a bit too hipster to be hick—“hickster,” we called them—though they were certainly on the masculine side of adorable. As for Will, most of his wardrobe was alarmingly Trump-appropriate. He even had a trucker hat.
