The Buckeye Flame is a state-wide LGBT community-oriented online news website based in northern Ohio. [1] The website updates online regularly, and news recaps are distributed in a weekly newsletter, which makes this the largest LGBTQ news source in the state of Ohio. [2] [3] The website debuted in June 2020. [4] [5]
The Buckeye Flame launched in 2020, and this followed the closure of Ohio's printed LGBTQ news magazine, Prizm. [4] [5]
Since its creation, The Buckeye Flame has published LGBTQ news articles on a number of topics. Topics have included gender affirming care, [6] conversion therapy bans, [7] LGBTQ sports content, [8] and more. [3] Additionally, The Buckeye Flame regularly covers content related to anti-LGBTQ legislation at the local and state-wide level across Ohio. [2]
The Buckeye Flame is associated with several professional organizations, including the Institute for Nonprofit News, other journalist groups, and Ohio's LGBTQ chamber of commerce. [1] Occasionally, they co-publish higher profile material with other Ohio-based sources, such as The Cleveland Scene. [9]
