Here’s what we’re covering on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:

  • The intersection of LGBTQ+ identity and military. We know it’s a tricky space, so what is the latest for our LGBTQ+ siblings serving in the armed forces?
  • From the military to the classrooms, what are the latest LGBTQ+ stories you need to know in the educational sector?
  • It is of course the holiday season. What holiday LGBTQ+ stories are keeping us jolly?
