Audio This News is So Gay (7/29/26): Covering the Trump Administration’s Latest Attacks on the LGBTQ+ Community

---

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

• The Trump administration…OF COURSE they’re doing homophobic and transphobic things. But what are some of the latest of those things?
  
• Gender-affirming care. Surely there are stories about efforts to eliminate gender-affirming care. Of course there are. How fare those efforts this week?
  
• Ken is an unabashed tennis fanatic and this is our first time talking about tennis. But why is it going to be…y’know…bad? We’ll find out. 

• 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:

• Politics and news editor at The Advocate, Christopher Wiggins.
• Reporter covering how LGBTQ+ people navigate the American health care system for The 19th, Orion Rummler.
• 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.
