Today's Google Doodle features Barbara May Cameron, the late Native American photographer, poet, writer, and human rights advocate. The search engine's website shows a cartoon of the activist, holding an LGBTQ+ flag with a camera around her neck, while smiling and hugging figures stand in the background. The cartoon was illustrated by queer Mexican and Chitimachan artist Sienna Gonzales and the reason why she is being featured is because it would have been her 69th birthday. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter But who is she? Cameron was a member of the Hunkpapa group and was born in Fort Yates, North Dakota. She campaigned for LGBTQIA+ acceptance in the Native American community and addressed racism in queer spaces. In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians, the first ever dedicated Native American LGBTQIA+ group, with her friend and fellow activist Randy Burns. From 1980 through 1985, she organised the Lesbian Gay Freedom Day Parade and Celebration. She also co-led and won a Supreme Court lawsuit against the Immigration & Naturalisation Service because of its policy of turning away gay people. Later, she became an executive director at Community United Against Violence, where she supported people affected by hate crimes and domestic violence. The San Francisco Mayor appointed Cameron to both the Citizens Committee on Community Development and the San Francisco Human Rights Commission in 1988, and the next mayor appointed her to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She was also active within the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, the American Indian AIDS Institute, and served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control, helping with AIDS and childhood immunisation programmes. Cameron died of natural causes on February 12, 2002, aged 47. Have your say in our news democracy.

Kendall Jenner has been trolled by her older half-sister Khloe Kardashian after she released her new photoshoot for Stella McCartney's fashion range which featured the American model in her birthday suit on a horse. The 27-year-old supermodel is the face of McCartney's 2023 winter campaign in a racy shoot shot by shot by photographer Harley Weir in the Camargue Salt Flats of France. All of the images involve horses, all owned by the famous horse whisperer JeanFrancoisPignon, including one where Jenner lounges on her back on top of the horse wearing nothing but a pair of knee-high boots. The reality TV star shared a post on her Instagram hyping the campaign adding: "A special day with @stellamccartney shot by @harleyweir. "#JeanFrancoisPignon and his horses were nothing short of amazing. I felt so happy and calm all day. Thank you for this experience Stella." The photos have since gone viral with Jenner's post receiving more than one million likes. However, not everyone was impressed. Jenner's sister Khloe swiped in with a brutal dig at the supermodel. The 39-year-old wrote "AI monster" in the comments of the post clearly unable to compute how her half-sister is even real. In another comment, she also simply wrote: "s**t." Thankfully, Khloe did have something nice to say to her younger sibling. In a third comment she wrote: "Wow! Wow! Wow! You’re so f**king perfect!!!!" Nice to know that even when the Kardashians are complimenting each other they can still throw in the odd swear word. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
