On this week’s episode of This News is So Gay:
- The Trump administration has canceled recognition of World AIDS Day. Is there anything this administration could do at this point that would actually surprise us?
- Yes, the 2025 election is over, but there are a slew of LGBTQ+ political stories happening across the country. What do you need to know?
- Gender-affirming care and services continue to be a source of drama in the news. What is the very latest?
- And, of course, queer joy. Where is our roundtable finding queer joy in the news right now?

- Editor-in-chief of The Advocate, Alex Cooper.
- Host of The Gaily Show, airing every weekday on AM950 Radio in Minneapolis and WCPT 820 in Chicago, John Parker.
