On this week’s (DEBUT!) episode of This News is So Gay:

  • The Supreme Court issued a slew of rulings last week, with some LGBTQ+-related decisions that experts believe will have far reaching effects for our community. So how is life going to change?
  • Pride Month has officially come to a close and many LGBTQ+ advocates argued that Pride 2025 needed to look different … but did it?
  • Marriage equality is officially ten years old. But some LGBTQ+ folks say it is far from settled law. What’s on the horizon?
  • And some recent White House press conferences definitely had some … strong LGBTQ+-related language in them. 

Joining us this week to talk about those stories and so much more are:

  • Orion Rummler, LGBTQ+ Reporter for The 19th
  • Missy Spears, Executive Director of Queer Kentucky
  • Joseph Darius Jaafari, Editor-in-chief and Founder of LOOKOUT, Arizona’s statewide LGBTQ+ newsroom
