Crisis Hotline Cut Headlines and (Early!) Pride 2026 Reporting
We’re seeing the effects of cutting LGBTQ+ specific services for callers to 988, the crisis hotline for queer youth. The absolute horror-show of issues faced by incarcerated trans folks are still getting coverage, but likely not as much as it should. Amidst this, there are stories of resilience and joy in small towns across the country. Plus, we’re somehow already talking about Pride 2026!
Joining us for these stories and more:
LGBTQ+ Beat Reporter at the 19th, Kate Sosin
Training Director at Investigative Reporters and Editors, Adam Rhodes
Digital editor for Indiana Public Broadcasting, Lauren Chapman.
