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

  • It is Pride Month with events aplenty. How does that affect the life of a queer journalist?
  • GLAAD released their Social Media Safety Index & Platform Scorecard. Is there any good news to be found there?
  • It’s not just Pride Month, but it’s also summer. What queer culture content should you be watching and reading this summer?
  • 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 so many more:

  • Managing director and editor of News is Out, Dana Piccoli.
  • Host of The Gaily Show, John Parker.
  • Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
