Audio This News is So Gay (9/23/26): Breaking Down the Anti-Trans Strategies of Democrat Candidates

---

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

• The line between the boards of a nonprofit newsroom and the editorial staff. What happens when that line gets blurred?
• Transphobia and anti-LGBTQ+ animus. Is that a winning strategy for elected officials?
• 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: 

• Editor in chief and opinion columnist for the Ohio Capital Journal, David Dewitt.
• Reporter and co-founder of the Athens County Independent, Dani Kington.
• 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.
