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

  • Gayborhoods: one of Ken’s favorite topics to discuss. How are they faring in our cities?
  • Misinformation and disinformation. It’s definitely making queer journalism pretty gosh darn harder to do well. What are some folks doing to combat false narratives?
  • There are yet again some people you might not know, but soon will in our latest round of, “Who the heck is that?”
  • And, of course, queer joy. Where is our roundtable finding queer joy in the news right now?
