While you know him as a featured contributor to The Gaily Show (bi-weekly on Wednesdays), we take this opportunity for him to unpack how he goes about his work. What does it mean to be a queer journalist when the federal government is dominated by MAGA and using that power to attack the LGBTQ community in blue cities? By sharing his story, we learn more about what it takes to produce quality journalism in a time when the federal government is pumping out dozens of fake news stories and conspiracy theories by the hour.
