Audio This News is So Gay (10/7/26): Diving Into the Gap Between Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws and Their Consequences
Featuring: H.L. Comeriato (The Buckeye Flame) and Kae Petrin (Trans Journalists Association)

Here’s what we’re covering on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay (click play above!):
- The lack of trans voices in stories about…trans voices. How bad is it out there in the journalism world with regards to this representation?
- Anti-trans laws and the consequences of those laws. Are we always covering both of those topics?
- 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:
- Senior staff writer for The Buckeye Flame, H.L. Comeriato.
- Data journalist, co-founder and board president of the Trans Journalist Association, Kae Petrin.
- Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
