The Advocate On-Air

Drawing on the newsroom of The Advocate, the country's longest-running LGBT magazine, The Advocate On-Air brings the publication's reporting to the screen as a television news program. Hosted by broadcast journalist Thomas Roberts, each episode covers the groundbreaking political, legal, and cultural events shaping the lives of LGBT people, from courtroom battles and legislative fights to shifts in public opinion and the stories of the people at the center of them. Produced at a moment when the community's legal status was changing rapidly, the series treats queer news as serious news, delivered with clarity and context. Watched now, it serves as a chronicle of a pivotal era and a reminder of how quickly, and how unevenly, the ground has moved.
