This week, we’re covering threats to SNAP benefits. How gay of an issue is this, and who is stepping up to help? It is, of course, never too early for Pride news, so we’ll talk a bit about some developments in both Tucson, Arizona and in Ohio. And as always – where is our roundtable finding queer joy in the news this week?

Joining us this week for these stories and more:

• Editor-in-chief and founder of LOOKOUT, Joseph Darius Jaafari
• Staff writer for The Buckeye Flame, and a corps member of Report for America, Ben Jodway
• Pulitzer-Prize-winning enterprise reporter for The Washington Post, Marissa J. Lang
