BREAKING: PinkNews refuses to cover trans issues on the basis it jeopardises ad revenue and is "contentious".
While Transgender lives in the UK and US are at risk, PinkNews abandons its transgender readers.
In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News' CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”.
In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating "We have to be careful." "It's the role of others to change narratives", going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
This revelation comes two weeks after pinknews removed their trans category from the website.
@PinkNewsStaff joined X in May 2024 and has been releasing several other allegations about the outlet, claiming there is a toxic culture of bullying, harassment and discrimination at PinkNews.

Is there a good site for queer news that isn't ran by terfs?
based
https://www.erininthemorning.com/ seems good from what i can tell. she focuses particularly on trans legislation.
Erin is usually the most thorough source for the US, i hope somebody can name a comparable British outlet as well given that it's on the forefront of fighting against trans rights in the imperial core and has some of the most openly transphobic journalists even outside of conservative sites.
She's a reputable source, but the total focus on electoralism seems very
to meit is very lib. but given the amount of active hate legislation coming out of state bodies across the country, her thoroughness is welcome. necessary but not sufficient.
I mean she's only one person, and it's something that needs to be covered.
Will check her out.Thanks!
There's Xtra, it's Canada based but it covers some American stuff too, and it doesn't shy away from trans issues.
Cool will use this going forward. I didn't browse pinknews that much but I'd just rather avoid products ran by bigots where I can.
