Season 6: LGBTQ+ Issues

This standalone season is a companion to our upcoming “OutLaw” project – exploring a record number of laws proposed in 2023 impacting LGBTQ+ Texans, including a repeated effort to repeal the state’s ban on homosexual conduct. KXAN’s team of journalists – many, members of that community themselves – share how they work to make fair, objective coverage decisions with this topic and also how their own experiences shape their reporting – including the murder of a gay college student two decades ago. You can also listen to our previous podcast seasons on medical debt, custodial deaths, mental competency in jails, mass violence and missing persons in Texas.
