On this week’s episode of This News is So Gay:

  • The experience of LGBTQ+ elders is FAR too little discussed on this show and in media. What do we all need to know about their experience?
  • NBC News has fired a ton of journalists, including eliminating NBC OUT, their LGBTQ+ news vertical. What does that mean for our media ecosystem?
  • We have more stories of LGBTQ+ safe spaces this week. What do those locales look like?
  • And, of course, queer joy. Where is our roundtable finding queer joy in the news right now?

Joining us this week to answer those questions and and so many more are:

  • Senior Staff writer for The Buckeye Flame, H.L. Comeriato.
  • Managing editor for The Sero Project and Communications Lead for the US People Living With HIV Caucus, Juan Michael Porter II.
  • Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
