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

There were massive layoffs of journalists last week, including so many out LGBTQ+ colleagues. How are we responding to that?

Marriage equality is back AGAIN in this week’s news, this time with a ton of designated anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups forming a coalition. How concerned should people be?
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day just passed. Did that get the recognition it needed and deserved?
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, HL Comeriato.
Managing editor for The Sero Project and Communications Lead for the US People Living With HIV Caucus, Juan Michael Porter II.
Technology reporter for the 19th, she who checks all of our math, Jasmine Mithani.
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.
