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

  • A tale of two legislatures. How are two state legislative bodies only a few miles from each other having such vastly different outcomes when it comes to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation?
  • A slew of new stories at the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity and K-12 education. What’s the latest there?
  • And, of course, queer joy. Where is our roundtable finding queer joy in the news right now?
