In 2024, rigorous political reporting is more essential than ever – especially when it comes to the issues facing queer and trans folks today.
Amid sustained political attacks from the far-right, research found that US support for LGBTQIA+ rights had begun to decline in 2024 after years of increasing momentum.
This is particularly concerning when we take into account the US election race, which has seen anti-trans and queerphobic sentiment – in particular, a desire to rollback trans rights – featured prominently in Republican campaigning efforts.
It’s urgent that our communities broaden our understanding of the tactics used to undermine queer and trans equality and educate ourselves on the key issues facing our communities.
Against this backdrop, we’re bringing our readers an exclusive partnership with Uncloseted Media.
Launched in 2024, Uncloseted Media is a new LGBTQIA+- focused news publication dedicated to investigating America’s LGBTQIA+ ecosystem and elevating the voices of everyday heroes.
The platform’s objective and non-partisan journalism will be published on both their own site unclosetedmedia.com and gaytimes.com, as well as the wider GAY TIMES social media ecosystem – allowing us to amplify their vital work and share it with our audience.
Rigorously reporting on issues as varied as trans health misinformation and the risks of under-regulated Christian homeschooling, Uncloseted is a vital new voice in the media landscape and we are proud to support them.
Stay tuned on GAY TIMES channels for more.
