Here’s what we’re covering on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:
- Book banning. Apparently that’s still a thing. Where is the latest LGBTQ+ book banning attempt here in the United States?
- HIV stigma. That also is still very much a thing. How is it affecting online dating?
- 2025 was a QUITE the year. What are some of those stories we’re walking away with as we leave this year behind?
- 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:
- Investigative journalist and lead designer at Uncloseted Media, Sam Donndelinger
- Senior Director of local news for the U.S. South for GLAAD, Darian Aaron.
- Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame
