Here’s what we’ve got on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:

  • There is so much new data out there on LGBTQ+ communities and views on equal rights. What do these numbers have to tell us?
  • Gay License plates? Yes, gay license plates. What is that all about?
  • 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, H.L. Comeriato
  • Technology reporter for The 19th, Jasmine Mithani
  • Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
