Ohio newspaper chain owner says his papers doesn't publish articles about LGBTQ people

maybe going after the advertisers would be the way, especially larger companies that may have anti-discrimination policies.
what an icky situation.

maybe at some point, one of his friends or relatives comes out of the closest and gives him a new perspective on life.

For a large segment of the population online news isn’t “real.” Yes, this is a problem that will eventually be corrected via attrition, but for now, those sources are still suspect to a lot of people. Even having other print sources from outside the area isn’t a complete solution – showing that LGBTQ+ people exist elsewhere only leads to statements of “Well, sure, they have those people in $largeCity, but not here!”

One more reason I do make an effort to be out of all of my closets, even when it’s scary sometimes.
