Historic First Television Broadcast Of Queer News Tonight - ROKU, Apple TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire
Channel: Queer News Tonight
Date: 02/02/2022

I'm Al Ferguson, lead anchor for Queer News Tonight. History is made today, February 1, 2022, as Happening Out Television Network becomes the first LGBTQ news, talk, and entertainment network to now broadcast on television including ROKU, Apple TV, Google TV, and Amazon Fire. Today is also history as our first television broadcast will not be with me or any of our 50 anchors that tell our daily LGBTQ+ story. We are in a battle in Florida as the light of our LGBTQ+ experience is getting ready to be extinguished in our schools as the "Don't Say Gay" Bill is sailing through the Republican-controlled Florida capital. If it passes, teachers, administrators, and especially students may not be able to speak about our Queer history or LGBTQ rights. It may ban hard-fought GSA student organizations. It may prevent vitally needed mental health support and even stop Queer suicide prevention programs in our schools. LGBTQ youth has never seen such a dedicated attack on identity as what Governor Ron DeSantis and the Republican legislature have launched against the LGBTQ community.  We didn't see this even in the darkest years of Donald Trump. We are broadcasting at a Town Hall and Rally at Pride Center at Equality Park in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale Florida to hear the facts of "Don't Say, Gay".  We invite you to stay tuned to participate in the Town Hall sponsored by Safe Schools South Florida. So now, after 3 1/2 years in social media platforms... our historic first television broadcast, we are turning our daily evening news program, the first of its kind in the entire world, to the most important LGBTQ reporter voices in the world... at least for today.  Our LGBTQ+ youth.  You are getting ready to watch a live unedited news broadcast to the world. On television. By Queer students.  We are literally out of the closet and into the headlines... Welcome to the Student Takeover of Queer News Tonight.
