Over the past two decades, mainstream media has begun telling our stories and talking about what really matters to LGBTQ+ people in North America and around the world.

Richie & John are working with reliable journalists and sources that have been doing an excellent job over the years to keep the news REAL, and not fall into the cycle of fake news reporting.
