Categories:

When Diane Anderson-Minshall began her career as a journalist in small-town Idaho she had to plead with someone to hire her. Now she's literally at the top of the LGBTQIA publishing world.  The queer, Indigenous journalist, editor, author and activist, who has received numerous awards for her work, now helms Pride Media Inc. and is the editorial director of its titles, which include The Advocate and Out magazines. On this week's episode of Why Here, she shares the stories behind the Pride edition covers of The Advocate and Out, explains the moment she realized her wife was actually her husband and unpacks the devastating trend of many U.S. states squashing the rights of transgender people.
