Today in gay podcast

Plus, the Impact of Mass Deportations on LGBT People, and Oregon's 'Freedom to Read' Bill!

This episode was originally recorded Monday, June 16th, intended to air on June 17th — but because what will now be known as a historical Today in Gay* moment in history, we had to postpone a day. (we will definitely be sharing more details from this absolutely bonkers experience!) Today we are processing the protests over the weekend — No Kings but Drag Kings!

Here, you’ll find a safe place to engage with other listeners, plus exclusive bonus content and community chats. Linh Nguyen is our Co-Producer. Leave us a voicemail and you may just hear your good gay news on the pod. A reminder of why protests like the ones over the weekend are so important! Jax Ko is our Co-Producer and Creative Director. In other good news, we are are celebrating a federal judge blocking the Trump administration from enforcing anti-diversity and anti-transgender executive orders targeting LGBTQ and HIV-serving non-profits, a headline we originally covered as it happened earlier this year, and a reminder why we LOVE a lawsuit!

We hope you’ll join us and stay tuned for more! We are all proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and we’re all here to make your day a little more gay. *Jasmin’s dog Stella escaped Lauren’s (EP/Editor) house, resulting in a 2.5 hour search party, joined by the kindest strangers we’ve maybe ever met!

When I met Nay Bever (Shudder’s “Queer For Fear”), I realized she was the perfect person to bring this podcast to life. My favorite thing about being gay? Maritza Navarro is our Supervising Producer. Over the next three years, we spent countless FaceTimes drinking coffee and cooking up our dream show—which brings us to you now.

TODAY IN GAY is your one stop shop for gay news — especially good gay news — available Monday through Friday everywhere you get your podcasts.

We’ve found some amazing people along the way to bring this show to life.

Andrés Pacheco Girón is our Researcher and Associate Producer.

We’ve also partnered with Substack: they understand the value of an entirely queer team creating an entirely queer show for the entire queer community. In good news, Oregon’s “Freedom to Read” library bill — which stop schools from banning books just because LGBTQIA+ folks wrote them, is headed to Governor Tina Kotek’s desk!
