âSatisfying your weekly minimum requirement of queer news and culture for more than 30 years!â ===> Please post this and/or otherwise spread the word at your station: If someone at your station has produced or will be producing a news, interview or feature story which may be of interest to the international LGBTQ community, please let us know! We're a woefully underfunded nonprofit and can only reimburse minor expenses, but we do offer a considerably larger number of ears for locally produced material (TWO airs on 200+ stations around the world).
