NBC News laid off teams of journalists who reported on Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+ communities, including staff from NBC Out. A Boston clinic that has served LGBTQ+ patients since 1971 curtailed gender-affirming care for patients under 19 to avoid losing federal funding under the anti-trans Trump administration. Trans fencer Dinah Yukich sued USA Fencing and the U.S. Olympic Committee after a New York tournament ruled her ineligible for women's events. Pete Buttigieg campaigned with Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger to support a pro-LGBTQ+ gubernatorial candidate. Candace Owens lost an appeal and must pay Australian government legal costs. Applications for the Future of Queer Media Fellowship are open through Oct. 31.
"At a time when LGBTQ+ journalism is more crucial than ever, NBC has laid off teams of journalists covering marginalized communities, including NBC Out. Meanwhile, a clinic in Boston has been pressured into cutting gender-affirming care for patients under 19, and a trans fencer is suing USA Fencing and the U.S. Olympic Committee. We also have Pete Buttigieg hitting the campaign trail with Virginia's Abigail Spanberger, and more bad news for right-wing conspiracy theorist Candace Owens."
