    Demystifying (and Queering) Redistricting & Covering LGBTQ+ Org Cuts
    Nov 12 2025
    Ohio’s gone through some redistricting – and Susan Tebben is here to update us and share why this is an LGBTQ+ issue. LGBTQ+ organizations across the country are struggling to keep themselves afloat – just how bad is it getting? There are several efforts to restrict names and pronouns across the country, but we want to highlight one initiative that’s actually validating individuals. Oh, and the Supreme Court declined to revisit their decision on same-sex marriage. Joining us for these stories and more: Reporter for The Ohio Capital Journal, Susan Tebben Training Director at Investigative Reporters and Editors, Adam Rhodes. Digital editor for Indiana Public Broadcasting, Lauren Chapman.

  • A Path to LGBTQ+ Equality in Local Advocacy?

    A Path to LGBTQ+ Equality in Local Advocacy?
    Nov 5 2025
    Many local municipalities are taking matters into their own hands to achieve the LGBTQ+ equality that is just not happening nationally. We cover how it’s working in Pennsylvania, look at Illinois’ Equality for Every Family Act, and answer if LGBTQ+ advocates should fully pivot to local approaches in states, like Ohio, with plenty of gerrymandering. And of course, we have to talk about marriage equality. How worried should we be as the Supreme Court decides whether to take Kim Davis’ case this week? Joining us for these stories and more: Editor-in-chief of the Ohio Capital Journal, David DeWitt Managing Editor for The Windy City Times, Jake Wittich Freelance editor and writer, and former editor of the Philadelphia Gay News, Jason Villemez Keep up with The Buckeye Flame online: Website: https://thebuckeyeflame.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebuckeyeflame/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thebuckeyeflame.com Support for This News is So Gay comes from the LGBTQ+ Opportunity Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, leveraging philanthropy to empower LGBTQ+ communities.
