Audio This News is So Gay (5/13/26): Reporting on Gayborhood Drama and Queer Disinformation

---

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

• Gayborhoods: one of Ken’s favorite topics to discuss. How are they faring in our cities?
• Misinformation and disinformation. It’s definitely making queer journalism pretty gosh darn harder to do well. What are some folks doing to combat false narratives?
• There are yet again some people you might not know, but soon will in our latest round of, “Who the heck is that?”

• 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:

• Managing editor for The Windy City Times, Jake Wittich
• Former editor of and current frequent contributor to Philadelphia Gay News, Jason Villemez
• 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.
