Trump administration axes more than $125M in LGBTQ health funding, upending research field
🧵⬇️My latest for @NBCNews: The administration’s cancellation of hundreds of grants is dismantling the LGBTQ-focused research field, built out of nothing over a quarter century.

[Jay Valle @OfficialJValle]

Received my first @glaad Award last night for Outstanding TV Journalism Segment, alongside @mattlavietes for our coverage at @nbcout @yesitsmebrooke

Thank you to the @nbcnewsnow platform and @nbcaaron @tvkatesnow for allowing me to share this important story on-air 🙏🏼

[Matt Lavietes @mattlavietes]

Wow. Could not be more honored to accept this award with @OfficialJValle

This years-long reporting has been one of the most humbling experiences of my career. It could not have been possible without the love from the families of Julio Ramirez and John Umberger. Thank you @glaad

[Jo Yurcaba @JoYurcaba]

It was a joy to work on this piece with @brookesopelsa for Lesbian Visibility Week:

[Alex Berg @itsalexberg]

The term "Sapphic" has grown popular on the Internet, but what does it mean? Turns out, something a little different for everyone who uses it. My latest for @NBCOUT, edited by @brookesopelsa.

[Matt Lavietes @mattlavietes]

HUGE congrats to my talented teammate and friend @JoYurcaba for being named on Curve Magazine's power list of 50 LGBTQ nonbinary and women trailblazers.

If you're not already reading their powerful reporting, trust me, you should be.
