Here’s what we’re covering on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:
There were massive layoffs of journalists last week, including so many out LGBTQ+ colleagues. How are we responding to that?
- Marriage equality is back AGAIN in this week’s news, this time with a ton of designated anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups forming a coalition. How concerned should people be?
- National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day just passed. Did that get the recognition it needed and deserved?
- 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, HL Comeriato.
- Managing editor for The Sero Project and Communications Lead for the US People Living With HIV Caucus, Juan Michael Porter II.
- Technology reporter for the 19th, she who checks all of our math, Jasmine Mithani.
- Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
Support for This News is So Gay comes from the LGBTQ+ Opportunity Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, leveraging philanthropy to empower LGBTQ+ communities.
