Featuring: Gisselle Medina (Fresnoland) and Celia Hack (Signal Cleveland)

Here’s what we’ve got on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:
- That intersection of LGBTQ+ identity and public health continues to be loaded with stories. What are some of the latest you need to know?
- Family. It is a loaded word for our LGBTQ+ community. What has our roundtable been covering with this idea of “family.”
- 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:
- Religion and culture reporter at Fresnoland and a corps member for Report for America, Gisselle Medina.
- Health Reporter for Signal Cleveland, Celia Hack
- Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
